W.H Davies self-published his first book of poetry, The Soul's Destroyer, in 1905, by means of his own savings. It proved to be the beginning of success and a growing reputation. In order to even get the slim volume published, Davies had to forgo his allowance and live the life of a tramp for six months (with the first draft of the book hidden in his pocket). This is a fine 1910 reprint of The Soul's Destroyer.Pages

The triumphs of Eugène Valmont [by Robert Barr] (1906)
Robert Barr’s most enduring work was The triumphs of Eugène Valmont (London, 1906), a parody of Conan Doyle’s Holmes and other gentlemanly sleuths in the person of a comically patronizing, self-inflating, and obtuse Gallic detective; several historians of the genre have identified Valmont as a possible model for Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot.Link To The Free Book
