For fans of sportsball, the concept of fantasy leagues might seem like a modern invention. A late-20th century pastime of creating the ideal lineup of teammates for competition. But what if you could do that with literary characters?
The first week of the month means it's time to look back at a piece of old scholarship, and in this case we've chosen Henry D. Scott's “Missing Three-Quarter One-Third Discovered” in The Baker Street Journal, Vol. 2, No. 2, (OS) 1947, in which he did just that. It's just a Trifle.
Be sure to listen to the entire episode, as we have a challenge for Trifles listeners.
