Scout Books History of Mystery: The Purloined Letter, The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle, and The Blue Cross 3 Pack (3.5" x 5")

History of Mystery is a trio of detective stories that defined and refined the mystery genre. Starting with Edgar Allan Poe's seminal masterpiece "The Purloined Letter", continuing with an off-beat and charming Sherlock Holmes story by Arthur Conan Doyle, and wrapping up with the first of G. K. Chesterton's humorous Father Brown tales, "The Blue Cross," this survey of the mystery genre is perfect for fans and novices alike. Each story is brought to life with the art of a great contemporary cartoonist: Roman Muradov (The New Yorker), Ethan Rilly (Pope Hats), and Dustin Harbin (Superior Showcase). <br/><br /> <br/><br /> Each Scout Books short story 3-pack presents a trio of tales by classic authors, with new drawings by some of today's top illustrators.
