Van Gulik, a Dutch diplomat and authority on Chinese history and culture, drew the plots from his stories from the body of Chinese literature, especially from popular detective novels that first appeared in the seventeenth century. Each Judge Dee mystery features three original Chinese plots, rewritten to form one continuous story, featuring master detective Judge Dee, one of the most famous master detectives who lived in the T'ang Dynasty of the seventh century A.D. In NECKLACE AND CALABASH, the Chinese Sherlock Holmes returns to his home district of Poo-yang hoping to relax. But it is not to be. A chance meeting with a Taoist recluse, a gruesome body fished out of the river, strange guests at the Inn and a princess in distress - before long the judge is facing one of the most intricate and baffling mysteries of hs career.
