Originally published in 1914, this book provides a detailed discussion regarding the ending of Charles Dickens' unfinished novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood. The text was written shortly after the mock trial of John Jasper for the murder of Edwin Drood, which was organised by the Dickens Fellowship during January 1914, with G. K. Chesterton as judge and George Bernard Shaw as foreman of the jury. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in The Mystery of Edwin Drood and the works of Dickens.
