Pain, Barry: Detection Without Crime. v1. 19 Nov 2022
Puzzle stories from the collection One Kind and Another (1914); presented as “From the Notebook of the Late Horace Fish,” a retired gentleman of insatiable curiosity. Horace, an amateur investigator of life’s little puzzles, follows clues to solve mysteries lacking crimes. ============== Barry Eric Odell Pain (28 Sep. 1864 – 05 May 1928) was an English journalist, poet, humorist and writer. During his lifetime, he was perhaps best known as a writer of parody and lightly humorous stories, but now is also noted for his tales touched with fantasy, horror, and the supernatural. He also wrote stories of mystery and suspense. His humor has been characterized by some modern critics as “a surreal forerunner to Monty Python.” ============= This collection, first published in 1914, is in the public domain where copyright is “Life+90” or less, and in the USA. .
