Selection, introduction, notes and activities by John Douthwaite These stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, R. Austin Freeman, Edgar Wallace, Edmund Crispen and Geoffrey Bush, Margery Allingham and Julian Symons focus on the development of the detective genre: from the rationality of the Victorian investigator to the modern theme of the criminal as anti-hero.

His works also include fantasy and science fiction, as well as plays, romances, non-fiction and historical novels. This book includes two detective short stories: "The Bravoes of Market Drayton" and "The Debatable Case of Mrs. Emsley."
