The Critic (26 october 1895, p. 271)

To the Editors of The Critic :—

Will you allow me through your columns to warn your readers against a book called "Strange Secrets," which is being sold with my name upon the cover? Out of a large number of stories, only one is mine — a very short one in the middle of the book.

A. Conan Doyle

Grand Hotel, Caux, 30 Sept. 1895
