Mr Justice Maxell

Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace (1875 – 1932) was a prolific English writer working in the sphere of screen plays, poetry and historical non-fiction.

Edgar Wallace is most famous today as the co-creator of "King Kong", writing the early screenplay and story for the movie, as well as a short story "King Kong" (1933) credited to him and Draycott Dell. He was known for the J. G. Reeder detective stories, The Four Just Men, the Ringer, and for creating the Green Archer character during his lifetime. In spite of his adventurous way of writing style the majority of works contains a fantasy world of distinct persons with indistinct desires and only in the end the reader may find out the main interchange of these remarkable stories.
