Spotlight on: Clarence E Mulford.

Anyone over a certain age has likely heard of Hopalong Cassidy - but the name of his creator is less well-known: Clarence E Mulford. Here we have The Deputy Sheriff (1930) and The Round up (1933). Not crime fiction in the strictest sense - but there’s plenty of law breaking and pursuit of those responsible!

Mulford wrote twenty-eight Cassidy books in all and many were made into films - there was even a Hoppyland in California! (It’s fair to say the original works were grittier than what came later.)

Clarence does not look the type to have enjoyed a go on a rollercoaster but you never know . . .
