A blue plaque for J.S. Fletcher.

The Pontefract [UK] Civic Society announced the placement of a blue Heritage Plaque at Denby Farm, the childhood home of mystery writer J.S. Fletcher (1863–1935; author of The Middle Temple Murder [1919], etc.). In the February 1933 issue of American Mercury, Fletcher—seeking to address a question regarding his output vs. that of Edgar Wallace—reported that he had published 233 books, according to the British Museum.
