✦ Synopsis

This volume contains a few words about the author and illustrator, a Dedication and Acknowledgments as well as a Colophon and a Preface by the author, in which some aspects of the stories are explained. The adventures themselves are all referred to by Watson in the works published by him.

“ Yes, my boy, these were all done prematurely before my biographer had come to glorify me.” He lifted bundle after bundle in a tender, caressing sort of way. “ They are not all successes, Watson,” said he. “ But there are some pretty little problems among them. Here’s the record of the Tarleton murders, and the case of Vamberry, the wine merchant, and the adventure of the old Russian woman, and the singular affair of the aluminium crutch, as well as a full account of Ricoletti of the club-foot, and his abominable wife.” (from “The Musgrave Ritual”)

“ I assure you that the most winning woman I ever knew was hanged for poisoning three little children for their insurance-money…” (from The Sign of Four)
