This eBook is a collection of eight classic spy stories by various authors. These tales of espionage were published between 1821 and 1915. Each story was widely read soon after its publication and several have since served as models for contemporary spy fiction. “Kim,” “The Riddle of the Sands,” and “The Thirty-Nine Steps,” moreover, frequently appear on lists of the best novels of all time (independent of genre).

+”The Spy” by James Fenimore Cooper (1821)
