Description
The long legs of the law George Barr McCutcheon, the author of this special Leonaur two-in-one edition of the Anderson Crow stories, is perhaps better known to many as the writer of 'Brewster's Millions, ' the farcical yarn of a hapless man's attempts to send spend millions of dollars so that he might inherit millions more. McCutcheon was also well regarded for his 'Graustark' series of novels based in a fictional central European country and written in the spirit of 'The Prisoner of Zenda.' Anderson Crow, the central character in this book, can be compared-in his own way-to Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle's famous hussar, Brigadier Gerard. In these stories, McCutcheon has created gentle investigative fiction combined with a touch of humour and the stories are as much a good natured insight into small town American life at the time of the First World War as they are stories of detection. The deputy marshal of rural Tinkletown is essentially a buffoon who has a high opinion himself and blithely overlooks the truth that the successful outcomes of his endeavours are the result of good fortune rather than good work on his part. The first part of this good value collection contains short stories featuring Crow and the folk of Tinkletown, following these is a complete novel about the kidnapping of Crow's foundling daughter-a serious and personal case for the marshal as he sets out to recover his lost child. Plot twists, mayhem, killings and the strange doings in an allegedly haunted house all combine to foil the Crow's endeavours. For collectors and fans alike, this Leonaur edition is an excellent opportunity to own and read these well loved tales.
