Classic Three Investigators
|
At the beginning of Robert Arthur's tenth and final novel in his classic mystery series, Jupiter Jones buys an old steamer trunk at an auction. The trunk originally belonged to a magician who has gone missing and contains a skull named Socrates, which is reputed to talk.
But the boys soon discover that others want the trunk, too - including Three-Finger Munger, Maximilian the Mystic, and a mysterious woman named Zelda. Does the trunk hold the clue to the Great Gulliver and the money that has gone missing? What does Socrates have to say about that?
By turns eerie, perplexing, and engrossing, The Mystery of the Talking Skull promises to please not only the existing fan base of The Three Investigators series but a whole new generation of readers who will find in its pages three very different boys whose imagination, courage, and intelligence can remind us that curiosity, perseverance, and rational inquiry are just as vital as friendship and cooperation.
At the end of each Three Investigators book published by Hollow Tree Press are notes written by Robert Arthur's daughter and son-in-law, exploring three subjects connected to the story - in this case, The Romani, Criminals and Their Nicknames, and Magicians and Magic - and young readers may want to use these notes as guidelines for further investigation. After all, the motto of The Three Investigators is "We Investigate Anything," and their trademark is "???" - three question marks, taken together.
On the 60th anniversary of the creation of The Three Investigators series, the first-ever English-language e-book editions of Robert Arthur's novels, as well as the first new English-language print editions in over twenty-five years, stand ready to delight a whole new audience. Be sure to seek out all ten titles!
