What this book is about

A.A. Milne's only detective novel — written seven years before the first Pooh book — is a lively Golden Age mystery set at an English country house, where a guest is found dead and an amateur detective decides to investigate. Milne's wit is fully present, and the novel is a warm affectionate entry in the country house mystery tradition.
