Summary
Dublin, between the wars: Captain Arthur has come to Ireland to meet the family of Anne Foster, the woman he admires — and quickly decides that being introduced to a houseful of O'Riordans is more perilous than any battlefield. Over one civilised pint at a public house called The Stag's Head, a family quarrel turns into a genuine puzzle when Uncle Seamus produces a codicil to old Patrick Aloysius's will: a late addition that would rewrite an inheritance, signed by witnesses who may or may not have existed. With Anne's relations circling, a forger's clever work to expose, and a small glove-stealing spaniel named Pip underfoot, Arthur must prove that a name copied from a directory is not the same as a signature. The Stag's Head Has Lost His Crown is an original Golden Age-style mystery — a witty comedy of family, forgery, and the small mistakes that betray a liar. ℹ️ FOR LISTENERS This is an original Golden Age-style mystery presented as a respectful homage to classic detective fiction, narrated in the tradition of Captain Arthur. All characters and events in this story are fictional. No affiliation, endorsement, or official connection is implied. 💬 QUESTION FOR THE COMMENTS Pip the spaniel causes chaos, Uncle Seamus reads out a codicil that would change everything, and a forger nearly gets away with names borrowed from a family's own history. What gave the forgery away for you — the impossible witnesses, the borrowed names, or the one thing a directory can never supply? 🕵️ ❤️ SUPPORT & LISTENING OPTIONS 📌 Patreon — ad-free episodes, early access, bonus content (tiers from $2.99/month) https://www.patreon.com/NocturnalTales ❤️ Buy Me a Coffee — one-time support https://buymeacoffee.com/nocturnaltales 💛 PayPal — one-time tip https://paypal.me/nocturnaltalesprod 🎧 Spot…
