Mulliner book

[Brainy Cove]

What ho! I just picked up The World of Mr. Mulliner at a library sale
for a buck. Does this volume contain all the Mulliner stories?

I think Pillingshot has said that there are some editions that are
missing one or two of the later stories. If the table of contents
includes 41 stories, including "From a Detective's Notebook", you've got
the works.

The copy I have unfortunately contains only 27 stories, 9 each from
the books ''Mulliner nights'', ''Meet Mr Mulliner'' and ''Mr Mulliner
speaking''. I suppose, apparently it gives a broad miss to the
Hollywood Mulliner stories.

Exactly. For some reason or other the later editions of this book missed a
lot of stories. What you want is the 1974 edition which contains 42 stories.

Huzzah! A quick perusal of the table of contents reveals 42 tales from
The Truth About George to From a Detective's Notebook.

Thanks ever so.

What rot! Did you ever in your puff hear of anything so scaly?

[Charles stone-Tolcher]

Scaly maybe but true. Swordfish's edition of the Mulliner Omnibus by his
own admission only contains 27 stories. The 1974 edition has 42. Why this
should occur I do not know but it is certainly rummy.

Mine, alas, is a 1999 edition, sadly shortened.

What ho, Pillingshot;

The general consensus of opinion is that it has something to do with the
Fourth Dimension.

Yes, yes. The fourth dimension. I never could work out ''The Amazing Hat
Mystery" (Young Men in Spats). Some unthinking chaps would just say the that
hatter made a mistake in the delivery and sent the wrong hats to the wrong
customers. Forsooth! the hatter was Bodmins! Impossible scenario. Obviously
the fourth dimension was involved.
