The Story of Spedague's Dropper (Fantasy and Horror Classics)

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of detective Sherlock Holmes, is the father of crime fiction. This intriguing short story, first published in the Strand Magazine in 1928, was based on a bizarre cricketing experience Doyle underwent as a young man. Many of the finest English sport stories, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.
