ABSTRACT

Burnett had a hard time getting his work started, but once under way batted out a half-dozen hits like Iron Man, Little Caesar, Saint Johnson, Goodbye to the Past, in a half-dozen years. A vast and enthusiastic public follows his novels, for which there is such a demand that he turns but occasionally to the shorter fiction form. “Dressing Up” presents the quality which has made him tops in his line—rapidly-paced depiction of a life and time which centers around guns.
