	Manning Coles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Manning Coles is the pseudonym of two British writers, Adelaide Frances Oke Manning (1891-1959) and Cyril Henry Coles (1899-1965), who wrote many spy thrillers from the early 40s through the early 60s.
		Manning and Coles were neighbors in East Meon, Hampshire.
		Oaks worked for the War Office during World War I. Their first books were fairly realistic and with a touch of grimness; their postwar books occasionally suffered from an excess of lightheartedness and whimsy.

		Manning Coles was the pseudonym for two Hampshire neighbors who collaborated on a long series of entertaining spy novels featuring Thomas Elphinstone Hambledon, a modern-language instructor turned British secret agent.
		After the war, Coles first apprenticed at John I. Thorncroft shipbuilders of Southhampton and then emigrated to Australia where he worked on the railway, as a garage manager, and as a columnist for a Melbourne newspaper before returning to England in 1928.
		Shortly after this disappointing introduction to the literary world, Coles and Manning hit upon an idea for a spy novel while having tea and began a collaboration that would last until Manning died in 1958.

		The Coles' mysteries often involve ingenious murder devices; these machines are to Coles' personal slant on the "scientific" approach of the Freeman school.
		One of the Coles' strengths was their sharp characterization; despite a somewhat dry writing style most of the characters in their stories "come through".
		There is usually a note of satire in the Coles' characterizations; it is quite sharp, but it is only one element of a realistic portrait, and restricted to specific aspects of the characters' personalities and behavior.

		We found it in a thrift store, couldn't afford it, not really - and bought it anyway and had to be frugal for a while to make up for it.
		I think this was the first book by "Manning Coles" that I read, and it introduced me to the incomparable (if fictional) Tommy Hambledon - and also to the intelligent and occasionally off-the-wall talent of Cyril Henry Coles and Adelaide Frances Oke Manning, the pair behind the pen name.
		I read their books mostly for fun, but also for the substance behind the farce.
