[QUOTE="scottbtdmb, post: 213204, member: 1043"] I recently came across a blog on Marty Pulvers' website about a book called Twenty Six Days, written by Regis McCafferty. It is clearly written in the style of old Victorian London (i.e. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) and chronicles a young detective named Joshua Pitt. I decided to buy a copy for my Nook off of Barnes&Noble and all I can say is that I am thoroughly enjoying this story. Pipe smoking plays a prominent role in the story, as Joshua is called out to Kendal for a case and winds up getting employed at a local tobacco shop there partially as a cover. Pitt always packs a couple of pipes and his tobacco pouch when he goes out and clear references are made to BBB, Comoy, and Peterson Pipes. Joshua also makes it known that he prefers Arcadia Mixture and several fine offerings from Samuel Gawith. I highly recommend this book for any pipe smoker who enjoys Sherlock Holmes style stories. As far as I can tell, McCafferty did extensive research to make sure that the style of writing, the dialect, and the common English references are all true to the period. Check it out....you won't be disappointed! -Scott [/QUOTE]
