The Dreamers

John Kindrick Bangs became known for his amiable club-story atmosphere (The Encyclopedia of Fantasy), which comes full to life in a series of stories told by The Dreamers, members of an elite gentleman's club. Of special interest to mystery fans is the first book publication of Bangs' Sherlock Holmes parody, The Mystery of Pinkham's Diamond Stud. The book is copiously illustrated by Edward Penfield.
