I had already noticed, of course, that Mr Tyrer considered Jennifer an ideal name for a daughter.

And the idea of using a photo of the author at work on his typewriter is an excellent touch that neatly links the two editions 50 years apart.<br /><br />Incidentally, we now occupy the house where Walter Tyrer and his young family lived throughout the Second World War. I am amused to note that the "Rose and Crown" in this story shares its name with a pub which, being some 300 metres from this house, would probably have been Walter's "local" during his time here.

And we must not forget the others who helped me along the way to bringing this small project to a timely completion: Jennifer De Fries, Ray Elmitt, Nick Osmond, Steve Holland, and Gary Dobbs. Thanks, everyone -- a professional job!<br /><br />Those wanting to know more about Mr Tyrer's writings and career should search Nick's blogs: bookshelvesandbrownale and thesextonblakeblog. And if you want to read some Tyrer books for free, go to comicbookplus.com. In their Sexton Blake Library section, I particularly like <i>The Case of the Two Crooked Baronets</i> and <i>The Crime in Room 37</i>.<br /><br />Keith Chapman Chap O'Keefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04404176810063857291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401124973760279564.post-81366701934308571712014-03-16T16:14:26.796-04:002014-03-16T16:14:26.796-04:00Glad you like and liked it, Oscar.
