Reviews for The Face and the Mask
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
5/5
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Included here are short stories of Gambling joints,of Anarchists and of Duels. There are also a couple of quite touching love stories. However perhaps best of all is a Sherlaw Kombs tale called 'The Great Pegram Mystery',which is well worth the price of the book alone. The Kombs stories are said to be the earliest Sherlock Holmes parodies ever written.
