Short Fiction Various: Eleven Possible Cases, 1901, v1, 6 Feb 2024

Eleven short stories, and an interesting glitch. Thew dust jacket, shown, includes an author Henry Harland; the book inside the dust jacket showed "Q" (Arthur Quiller Couch) instead. Something odd must have happened between printing the dust jackets and the actual book. (And yes, I checked the page images of the 1901 book inside the dust jacket, and "Q" is definitely in it, and Harland is not.)

Nym Crinkle (story 10), by the way, is a pen-name, in case you didn't guess.

60,000 words, one of series of similar anthologies by this publisher which do not have a credited Editor.
