Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ehti pitkän kirjailijanuransa aikana kirjoittaa monenlaista. Vaikka hänet muistetaankin parhaiten Sherlock Holmes -tarinoistaan, hänen laajassa tuotannossaan on paljon muutakin. Tämän kokoelman kertomukset ilmestyivät alun perin vuosina 1918 - 23. Niissä Doyle kuvaa lapsiaan katselemassa maailmaa näkökulmista, jotka aikuiselle saattavat olla vieraita mutta jotka huvittavuudessaankin ovat oivaltavia.Kolmikko tarjoaa välähdyksiä sadan vuoden takaiseen Iso-Britanniaan. Aika oli toinen, mutta lapset olivat lapsia silloinkin. He tutkivat maailmaa, loivat mielikuvituksessaan leikkejä ja olivat kiinnostuneita mitä erilaisimmista asioista. Välillä ääneen pääsee myös lasten Isukki, joka paitsi osaa suunnitella hienoja leikkejä myös luennoi mielellään vaikkapa kriketistä tai nyrkkeilyn historiasta.

Their investigation of a bizarre crime proves to be an auspicious beginning for one of the most illustrious crime-solving partnerships of all time.
