It was not the best mystery ever but good for its time. The hero is adorably awkward and also really not great at art. I am not sure if the latter was intentional or they forgot to hire someone really good at art to do the portraits like they usually do on TV shows. They might have been making a point about rich people back then being dilettantes but I was not sure. Everyone acted like he was really good. This weathered but lovely edition of Poe. This school copy of Tennyson, given as a prize. I don't know if a lot of schools did this, but it can't have been cheap.
