	Uncle and his Detective - Printed Books Shopping at dooyoo.co.uk
		This book in the Uncle series starts with the arrival not of a detective, but of disaster: Badfort is for sale, and as Uncle is deciding to buy it, demolish it, and build a pleasantly appointed park on the site, he is forestalled.
		Failing to realize that the man who has bought Badfort is certain to regret the “bargain”, Uncle tries to forget this apparent mistfortune by continuing his never-ending exploration of Homeward, and comes across the Art Gallery, reached along Quack Walk between two ponds crowded with noisy and aggressive ducks.
		En route he discovers the mysterious Crack House, which is the lair of a vicious and horribly squawking creature, half-bat, half-giant-bird, and called Batty.

		Uncle is the sworn enemy of the inhabitants of Badfort, an enormous fortress-cum-council-estate-cum-dark-satanic-mill that blights the landscape in front of Homeward.

	Willard Huntington Wright: The Great Detective Stories [Kriminallitterære Nyheder]
		Although the blind detective is a comparatively recent innovation in crime-mystery fiction, his methods belong necessarily to the logic-cum-intuition school, despite the fact that all his processes and conclusions are accounted for on strictly material and scientific grounds.
		The alienist detective is not a far cry from the pathologist detective, and though there have been several doctors with a flair for abnormal psychology who have enacted the role of criminal investigator, it has remained for Anthony Wynne to give the psychiatrist a permanent place in the annals of detection.
		Uncle Abner, indeed, is one of the very few detectives deserving to be ranked with that immortal triumverate, Dupin, Lecoq and Holmes; and I have often marveled at the omission of his name from the various articles and criticisms I have seen dealing with detective fiction.

		J.P. Martin's Uncle and his Detective (1966) begins with the arrival not of a detective, but of disaster: Badfort is for sale, but when Uncle decides to buy it, demolish it, and build a pleasantly appointed park on the site, he is forestalled.
		By now the Detective of the title has appeared: an elegant and astute fox called A.B. Fox, who proves worthy of his hire (twenty pence a day) as the Badfort Crowd, sniffing treasure from afar, are constantly on the prowl.
		After many adventures, Uncle eventually tracks down the treasure, an unimaginably vast block of softly glowing gold (or dlog, as they code-name it), beats off a final attack from the Badfort Crowd, and enjoys the acclaim of the grateful inhabitants of Homeward when he decides to distribute the gold for the common good.

	The Great Detective Stories (1927, 1946 ed.) by Willard Huntington Wright
		In Doyle the detective story reached what might be termed a purified fruition; and the numerous changes and developments during the past two decades have had to do largely with detail, with the substitution of methods, and with variations in documentary treatment — in short, with current modes.
		Moreover, there is absent from his quest that ethical enthusiasm which is always a stimulus to the follower of an upright detective tracking down an enemy of society — a society of which the reader is a member and therefore exposed to the dangers of anti-social plottings on the part of the criminal.
		The subject-matter of a detective story — that is, the devices used by the criminal and the methods of deduction resorted to by the detective — is a matter of cardinal importance.

	Issue of July 15, 2003
		Dear Word Detective: My wife and I were reading "The Princess and the Goblin," circa 1872, by George MacDonald (whose works were apparently an inspiration to J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis), and came across the word "clue," but referring to a ball of string.

		"Uncle Blair." A small voice gently tried to nudge its way into the dreams of the young man who was sleeping so soundly amongst the covers of the guest room bed, but his deep, even breathing continued without interruption.
		"Uncle Blairrrrr!" A slight whining quality had crept into the child's tone of voice, and this time the shoves were more pronounced, managing to actually shake the frame of the anthropologist.
		A chubby cheek of soft baby skin and little clenched fists pressed themselves trustingly into the chest of his uncle, not knowing the man was the city's champion of those in need, a uniquely gifted warrior against evil.

	Ghost in the Machine, Hardware and Software, Idaho Again, Hell Bent, A Bad Word, and Crying Uncle.
		Checking other sources for the origins of "cry uncle" does provide support for one of the Opies' most interesting assertions, that childhood games and rituals are often hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of years old.
		It may be that the ritual is simply a way of making the victim call out for help from a grownup, thus proving his or her helplessness.
		The form of "uncle" used in the Latin phrase ("patrue") tends to support this theory, inasmuch as it specifically denoted your paternal uncle, as opposed to the brother of your mother ("avunculus"), who occupied a somewhat lower rung in patrilineal Roman society.
