The Mystery of the Summer-House"! That is what the papers are calling it, and the village of Upper Scotney has never seen the like. Lady Carlton, the young wife of Sir Ralph Carlton, has been found murdered in the grounds of Scotney House. While Sir Ralph and the police investigate the crime, his niece carries on enquiries of her own. Scandalous secrets are uncovered - but it is not until the tumultuous upheaval of the Great War breaks over Europe, that the terrible truth is finally revealed. Originally published in 1919, this vintage crime novel is sure to delight all fans of classic crime fiction.

While the modern game of golf originated in fifteenth-century Scotland, the game's ancient origins are unclear and much debated. The first written record of golf is James II's banning of the game in 1457, as an unwelcome distraction to learning archery. The world's oldest golf tournament in existence, and golf's first major, is The Open Championship, which was first played on 17 October 1860 at Prestwick Golf Club, in Ayrshire, Scotland. Horace Gordon Hutchinson won the British Amateur twice, in 1886 and 1887, and he has been described by many as the Father of Golf Instruction, writing several books on the subject. In The Classic Guide to Golf, he shares his insight into the game, and instructs the casual player or beginner in how to become truly great.
