Description:Mr.
Fortune is excellent comfort reading for the autumn; he is a very
amusing man, funny and charming and without much physical competence,
most interested in food and his garden and the comforts of living. He is
brought into many of his cases by the police, often under protest,
although once he sees the form of a crime against innocents --
particularly children -- he dedicates himself to solving the mystery
with a combination of reason and intuition.
