Sobre IBD

Edited by Joseph Lewis French, this collection of 9 riddle stories includes ''The Mysterious Card'' and its sequel by Cleveland Moffett, ''The Oblong Box'' by Poe, ''A Terribly Strange Bed'' by Wilkie Collins, ''The Lost Room'' by Fitz-James O'Brien and others selected as masterful examples of the genre by the editor. He says in the forward: ''A distinguished American writer of fiction said to me lately: 'Did you ever think of the vital American way we live? We are always going after mental gymnastics.' Now the mystery story is mental gymnastics. ... The stories of this collection cover a wide range and are the choice of reading in several literatures.'' Joseph Lewis French (1858-1936) was a novelist, editor, poet and newspaper man. The New York Times noted in 1925 that he may be ''the most industrious anthologist of his time.'' He is known for his popular themed collections, and published over twenty-five books between 1918 and his death in 1936.
