A brilliant collection of short detective stories, most of which paved the way for mystery writers like Sir Arthur Doyle and Agatha Christie. I recognized most of the authors- Edger Allan Poe, Charles Dickens-and I enjoyed every story. I believe all of them were orginally published in the Victorian era in either newspapers or magizines. Each were brilliantly written and very original. I did guess most of the solutions, but the stories were still good and I highly recommend this book to anyone were is a fan of the early detective stories, like I am.
