520    Impossible crime stories have been relished by puzzle-
       lovers ever since the invention of detective fiction. 
       Fiendishly intricate cases were particularly well suited 
       to the cerebral type of detective story that became so 
       popular during the ‘golden age of murder’ between the two 
       world wars. But the tradition goes back to the days of 
       Edgar Allan Poe and Wilkie Collins, and impossible crime 
       stories have been written by such luminaries as Arthur 
       Conan Doyle, G.K. Chesterton, Dorothy L. Sayers and 
       Margery Allingham.    This anthology celebrates their work,
       alongside long-hidden gems by less familiar writers. 
       Together these stories demonstrate the range and high 
       accomplishment of the classic British impossible crime 
       story over more than half a century.
