A Master of Mysteries: Audiobook by LT. Meade
Elizabeth Thomasina Meade Smith (1844–1914), writing under the pseudonym L. T. Meade, was a prolific writer of girls' stories. She was born in Bandon, County Cork, Ireland, the daughter of Rev. R. T. Meade, of Nohoval, County Cork.[1] She later moved to London, where she married Alfred Toulmin Smith in September 1879. She began writing at 17 and produced over 280 books in her lifetime,[2] being so prolific that no fewer than eleven new titles under her byline appeared in the first few years after her death.
About The Book The author, a professional exposer of ghosts, introduces himself and his profession. He explains that he has always been fascinated by the weird and mysterious, and that he has dedicated his life to explaining phenomena attributed to spiritual agencies by the application of science. He warns potential followers that the work can be difficult, thankless, and often dangerous. The author then proposes to relate the histories of certain queer events that he has investigated. These events were initially shrouded in mystery and dark with portent, but he was able to explain them through science. The introduction is well-written and engaging. The author's enthusiasm for his work is evident, and he does a good job of explaining the challenges and rewards of his profession. The introduction also effectively raises the reader's curiosity about the stories that the author is about to tell.
