The Paradoxes Of Mr Pond

Mr Pond was a small, neat civil servant. There was nothing remarkable about him at all – except a pointed beard. However, he tells the most fascinating stories and has the most unorthodox way of solving crimes and mysteries. These eight short stories include the extraordinary ‘The Three Horsemen of the Apocalypse’ about a Marshal’s plans which go tragically wrong because, paradoxically, his soldiers obey him.
