More about the book

His early works reflected the gritty realities of working-class life, particularly through his detective stories featuring Martin Hewitt and the morally ambiguous Horace Dorrington. Morrison's interests also encompassed Japanese art, culminating in his 1911 work on the subject. Despite personal tragedies, including the loss of his son, he remained active in literature and was honored by the Royal Society of Literature.
