A Christmas Mystery - Illustrated

by William J. Locke

Overview

A Christmas Mystery is a short story that takes place in the early 1900s in England, with three totally different wise men. It is a delightful tale so totally appropriate for this season and full of surprises. The three men are eminent in their respective fields, a physicist, a professor and an Empire Builder and Administrator. The three are doing their best to avoid their homes and relatives on Christmas Day. In short, they are each the incarnation of Scrooge. But fate intervenes in their plans and changes their lives (Lorraine Montgomery, Goodreads).

About the Author

William John Locke (20 March 1863 – 15 May 1930) was a British novelist, dramatist and playwright, best known for his short stories. In 1894, he published his first novel, At the Gate of Samaria, but he did not achieve real success for another decade, with The Morals of Marcus Ordeyne (1905) and The Beloved Vagabond (1906). Chambers Biographical Dictionary wrote of his "long series of novels and plays which with their charmingly written sentimental themes had such a success during his life in both Britain and America.... His plays, some of which were dramatised versions of his novels, were all produced with success on the London Stage."
