For the past five years that charming but persistent Olympian of the ether waves, Alexander Woollcott, has included among his routine chores a monthly note to the editors of the Modern Library reading simply: “When are you nitwits going to do The Moonstone and The Woman in White in a single volume- in type that these tired old eyes actually can read?”

The Canadian Northwestern Police always get their man, and Woollcott always gets his way.  Furthermore, the editors must admit that a first printing of ten thousand copies of this edition was sold out before publication!  For here are two of the most exciting novels ever written, and the plots are fresher and more ingenious than the best-selling detective story by Whathisname, published the day before yesterday.
