The Story of Spedegue's Dropper
By Arthur Conan DoylePublisher Description
A short story about a young man with a radical approach to the game of cricket from the creator of Sherlock Holmes.
While walking in the forest, veteran cricket player Walter Scougall comes upon a young schoolteacher named Spedegue practicing an unusual bowling delivery. When Scougall attempts to have the man repeat his actions in public, it yields entertaining results . . .
Originally published in the Strand Magazine in 1928, The Story of Spedegue’s Dropper is inspired by a bizarre experience Doyle had with cricket when he was a young man.Download the free Fable app
