The British crime writer Ethel Lina White’s books, during her days of glory in the 1930s and early 1940s, sold in such large editions that she was sometimes compared with Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers. Three of her novels also became famous films. After her death, people began to forget her, but there has been something of a renaissance after 2000, when her books were re-published, mainly as e-books, and her novel The Wheel Spins became a success as the basis for a play in 2001 and a TV series in 2013.
