Description

"The Red House Mystery" is a detective novel written by A. A. Milne, the famous creator of Winnie-the-Pooh. This departure from Milne's beloved children's stories introduces readers to a captivating and suspenseful tale of murder and mystery. Set in the English countryside, the story revolves around the enigmatic Red House and its inhabitants. When the wealthy owner, Mark Ablett, is found dead, the narrative takes a thrilling turn as amateur detective Antony Gillingham embarks on a quest to unravel the truth behind the crime. The book showcases his adeptness at creating memorable characters, clever dialogue, and intricate plot twists. While "The Red House Mystery" is often overshadowed by Milne's later success with Winnie-the-Pooh, it remains a notable contribution to the mystery genre. It showcases his versatility as a writer and demonstrates his ability to captivate readers with an entirely different style of storytelling.

Author Biography:

English author Alan Alexander Milne (18 January 1882 - 31 January 1956) is best known for his children's poems and books about the stuffed animal Winnie-the-Pooh. Prior to Winnie-the-Pooh's enormous success overshadowing all of his earlier work, Milne was essentially a playwright. Milne participated in both World Wars, serving as a captain in the Home Guard during the Second World War and as a lieutenant in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment during the First World War. The character Christopher Robin is based on Christopher Robin Milne, a bookseller, who was Milne's son. The inspiration for Milne to compose Winnie-the-Pooh for his son came from a trip to the London Zoo, when Christopher fell in love with the kind and friendly bear Winnipeg. The Winnie-the-Pooh stories' original manuscripts were left by Milne to Trinity College, Cambridge's Wren Library.
