Puzzles fret me, puzzles annoy me, puzzles exasperate me and always, for a moment, they arouse in me an unkind state of mind toward the person who has puzzled me. It puzzles me to make out how the same hand could have constructed your letter and your advertisements. The person who wrote the advertisements is without doubt the most ignorant person now alive on the planet also without doubt he is an idiot, an idiot of the 33rd degree, and scion of an ancestral procession of idiots stretching back to the Missing Link. The handwriting is good and exhibits considerable character, and there are even traces of intelligence in what you say, yet the letter and the accompanying advertisements profess to be the work of the same hand. Your letter is an insoluble puzzle to me.

I love the simplicity of Bulla’s stories which, despite their tell-the-plot-in-one-sentence nature, still contain twists and details I’d never expect. He didn’t disappoint, as his explanations of the inexplicable were quite easily explained. I am normally not drawn to “ghost stories,” though having already tasted Bulla’s works before, I figured I could trust what he had to offer here. This one became my “breaktime read” at the office, though the only breaks I ever take are bathroom breaks. I’ve since found a few more at garage sales and in our old school library, so I’ll sprinkle them in here and there as I get opportunity to read them. I had found some digital copies which I read to my children a few years ago, books like The Secret Valley, The Sword in the Tree, A Lion to Guard Us, The Knight at Dawn, and The Shoeshine Girl. It’s been a while since I’ve stumbled upon a children’s storybook by prolific author, Clyde Robert Bulla. When he disappears suddenly for California, and the promise of riches that rumours of gold.
