The Old Man in the Corner (1908) is a collection of classic detective short stories by Baroness Orczy, best known for The Scarlet Pimpernel. Unlike traditional detective stories where a professional sleuth actively solves crimes, this book features an armchair detective, a nameless, mysterious old man who sits in a tea shop, unravels complex mysteries, and explains them to a young journalist, Miss Polly Burton.
