Inhalt:

Volume 1: Two classic detective collections from the early twentieth century Baroness Orczy will be forever associated with her tales of the Scarlet Pimpernel-that 18th century English, 'devil may care' gentleman of the French Revolutionary period whose numerous adventures involved saving innocents from the sinister Citizen Chauvelin's clutches and the blade of the guillotine. However, in common with many authors of her time Baroness Orczy wrote widely in various genres of fiction, including the excellent volumes of detective stories which have been brought together to create this unique, two volume Leonaur set. The first collection, 'Lady Molly of Scotland Yard' contains 12 stories concerning an early female detective, Molly Robertson-Kirk. First published in 1910 the adventures of murders and other dastardly deeds are narrated by Molly's assistant, Mary Granard. The second collection introduces Orczy's unique 'Old Man in the Corner'. The mysterious 'old man' is frequently found solving mysteries in conversation with a reporter, Polly Burton, whilst sitting in London's A.B.C. Tea Rooms. This first collection of the 'Old Man in the Corner' mystery series is titled 'The Case of Miss Elliott', the second and third collections, 'The Old Man in the Corner' and 'Unravelled Knots', can be found together in volume 2 of this Leonaur edition. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
