About this ebook
John Oxenham was a prolific writer, producing more than 40 novels, a number of books of verse, a large body of poetry, and short fiction. His collection Bees in Amber: A Little Book of Thoughtful Verse (1913) was a popular bestseller, and he was a major contributor to Jerome K. Jerome's The Idler magazine. 'A Mystery of the Underground' was one of his most successful short stories. Many crime and detective stories, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
