This is the only volume of detective short stories by the great English author, Arnold Bennett. First published in Windsor Magazine in 1903, these stories were later gathered into a slim volume in England. This present edition marks their first appearance in the United States.Cecil Thorold, the detective, is a millionaire in search of joy, as the sub title states. He employs unorthodox methods to gain his ends -- he blackmails to expose a criminal, and so on. These little stories are of special interest to collectors and to the many followers of Arnold Bennett, as it is not only the least known of his books but also a fine example of the detective story of the day.
