I somehow forgot to mention those in the review, but I assume EQ's bitesize radio mysteries can also be traced back to Ripley's minute mysteries.TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-89135756197897942442014-01-30T01:26:31.583+01:002014-01-30T01:26:31.583+01:00When I was a teenager decades ago this book was re...When I was a teenager decades ago this book was reprinted for the Scholastic Book Service under the title <i>One Minute Mysteries</i>. I had no idea until today that the book was originally published in the 1930s. I am almost certain that Ripley's seriss inspired Donald Sobel to write his syndicated newspaper column the 1960s called <i>Two Minute Mysteries</i> with Dr. Haledjian. Later, some of the Dr. Haledjain stories were recycled for Sobel's juvenile mystery series with Encyclopedia Brown.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.com
