“sinister atmosphere of
forgotten nations,” [DEVI]
It's not quite a holiday for Sherlock Holmes in "The Devil's
Foot," but rather a time away from London to be able to recuperate.
"The villages which dotted this part of Cornwall" gave a quaint,
other-worldly feeling to the setting.
But so too did the traces of "some vanished race which had
passed utterly away, and left as it sole record strange monuments
of stone, irregular mounds which contained the burned ashes of the
dead." The Cornish coast was the perfect place for this story.
And it's just a Trifle.
