Description

Around The College Henry Wodeash is known as 'The Professor'. This pipe-smoking biologist likes solving mysteries. In this new collection of four short stories, The Professor and his junior colleague are once again confronted by strange and unusual happenings that appear to have no logical explanation - just the sort of challenge 'The Professor' enjoys. They explore the dirty world of cheating on college examinations by finding out what happened to a missing crossword puzzle clue. Putting salve on a burnt foot eases the pain, and leads to the mystery of dying corn plants and jumping genes. At the oldest brewery there is a mystery fermentation that needs solving, because it is impossible, unless you know all about wort, and then there are valuable orchids that have been saved from disaster, but no one knows - 'who done it'; except 'The Professor'.
