The Mystery of the Mad Hatter
The golden age of the detective genre gifted us many star names. The works of writers such as Agatha Christie, Gilbert Chesterton, Earl Stanley Gardner, and Rex Stout developed and refined the detective genre; their novels, unanimously recognized as classics,... are still beloved by readers today and serve as a model of quality for subsequent generations of detective story authors. A prestigious place in this constellation rightfully belongs to John Dickson Carr (1906–1977) — a virtuoso master of perfectly constructed "impossible crimes in a locked room." In 1933, in the novel "The Witch's Cabin," John Dickson Carr introduced to the public the amateur detective Dr. Gideon Fell. The appearance of the character was presumably based on another luminary of the detective genre — Gilbert Chesterton, and his merits in the history of the detective genre, according to most admirers of Carr's work, truly command respect. Thus, the writer Kingsley Amis, in his essay "My Favorite Detectives," named Dr. Fell as "one of the three great successors of Sherlock Holmes." This collection includes the first three novels from the series chronicling the adventures of Dr. Fell: "The Witch's Cabin" (1933), "The Mystery of the Mad Hatter" (1934), and "Eight Swords" (1934).
