Description
Written by a very young August Derleth in the late 1920s, this is the first published collection of his tales of Solar Pons, a Sherlock Holmes–type detective, set in postwar England. Arkham House editor Peter Ruber wrote, “Derleth produced more than a few Solar Pons stories almost as good as Sir Arthur’s, and many that had better plot construction.” This copy is inscribed by the author.
