Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Autocrat at the Lunch Table
Not that the lunch table of the railway supply man is unusual, but the fact that it is usual, and that the autocrat still lingers in the memories of most of us, is perhaps sufficient excuse for making use of the creation of Holmes which was familiar to the last generation and which is something that is also familiar to the present day generation.
