To Chief Badger and his ambitious assistant, Badgercat, all clues point to the snooty Arctic Fox as the culprit -- until the emergence of Claws of Rage, a nefarious group of nonpedigreed agitators seeking vengeance against purebred, well-fed, happy-go-lucky animals. \n\u003cbr\u003e Can Chief Badger and Badgercat round up Claws of Rage members before they strike again? Will Badgercat be able to put aside his growing feelings for Marquise and uphold his duty as a Far Woods officer of the law? And what is that strange hairless animal up to?

K. Chesterton was one of the most influential English writers and thinkers of the 20th century.

Chesterton's ingenious and, above all, paradoxical stories introduce Basil Grant, a sleuth so finely portrayed as to rival Sherlock Holmes. Eschewing facts for physiognomy, deduction for intuition, method for madness, he moves unerringly to his goal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBritish writers have long enjoyed inventing preposterous clubs with eccentric members, unusual qualifications for membership and zany rules of behavior. The brilliant and gifted G. K. Chesterton was no exception, and the entertaining short stories in this volume revolve around just such an institution. In \n\u003ci\u003eThe Club of Queer Trades\u003c\/i\u003e, candidates qualify for admission by creating a thoroughly original profession and proving they can make a living from it. \n\u003cbr\u003eSix marvelously funny episodes with improbable plots are made especially pleasurable through Chesterton's vivid descriptions of late Victorian London, sly pokes at the legal system, and a characteristic gift for delicious nonsense. In each story, a bizarre crime -- such as kidnapping of a respected clergyman in \"The Awful Reason of the Vicar's Visit\" -- seems in the process of being committed. Actually, the events are all frenzied activities traceable to club members or would-be members. Here are intriguing tales of a little old lady imprisoned in a gloomy private dungeon; of prim and proper matrons bent on committing evil deeds; of a former British army officer and his extremely unusual residence; and a host of other incredible characters and situations. \n\u003cbr\u003eAdmirers of Chesterton's work will be delighted to learn that this edition contains all 32 of the author's own original illustrations -- the first republication to do so.
