370 p., leaves of plates : 21 cm Stories from the Diary of a Doctor is a collection of 12 Victorian mystery /detective stories from the Strand Magazine, then released in book form in 1894. A second series appeared in 1896. The Diary of a Doctor series has been likened to Sherlock Holmes - the first instalment, 'My First Patient', appeared in the July 1893 edition of The Strand Magazine alongside Conan-Doyle's Holmes story 'The Adventure of the Crooked Man'. The Literary News had this to say on the collection of stories: "Twelve stories, presenting some cases supposed to have come under the direct attention of a young London physician. It is claimed by their collaborating authors that several of the tales included are founded on actual experience, and that all have been written with a close observance to medical facts, and in accordance with the advances made in surgery during the last decade."

In this quick paced, easy to read collection of three works by L. T. Meade and Robert Eustace, we have detective mystery stories with supernatural themes (ghosts, haunted rooms, fortune tellers) debunked by masterful detectives such as John Bell and Mr. Head. As well as Diana Marburg, who uses her supernatural (psychic) abilities in detection. This work includes two complete books: A Master of Mysteries, and The Brotherhood of The Seven Kings, as well as the Short Story, The Dead Hand. Almost 300 pages of fun, page turning mysteries in basically seven short stories and ten chapters, the book also features annotated and differentiated material as front matter for the 2013 edition. This front matter includes two Introductions and an About the Authors Section. In the introduction by Tim Prasil, a university level English instructor, and author of occult detective stories in his own right, we have both a history of occult detectives in the mystery genre as well as a discussion of the literary contributions of the authors to the field of detective based fiction. Altogether, this should be a fun read for fans of mystery stories that feature occult detectives.

Meade's most famous book on both sides of the Atlantic and published in 1886 by Cassel & Co. World of Girls is the story about a girl's school who has new students suddenly added, upsetting the status quo. School life, and the trials and tribulations of the students within them, is a subject Meade visited often, always with success.
