This early work by H. Hesketh Prichard was originally published in 1913 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'November Joe - The Detective of the Woods' is a fantastic collection of tales featuring a young man with investigative skills who tracks down thieves and murderers. Hesketh Vernon Hesketh-Prichard was born on 17th November 1876 in Jhansi, India. Hesketh-Prichard's first published work was Tammer's Duel in 1896, which he sold to Pall Mall Magazine for a guinea. He often wrote with his mother under the pseudonyms "H. Heron" and "E. Heron" and together they created a popular psychic detective series around a character named "Flaxman Low".
