| Summary | "The Strand Magazine, Vol. 17, No. 97, January to June 1899" by Various is an illustrated monthly publication that features a variety of articles, stories, and illustrations characteristic of the late 19th century. This volume includes contributions from renowned authors such as Arthur Conan Doyle, showcasing detective tales, anecdotal narratives, and various forms of creative writing. Overall, the magazine caters to readers interested in fiction, commentary on contemporary life, and serialized storytelling, encapsulating the spirit and interests of its time. The opening portion of the magazine introduces a story titled "The Story of the Japanned Box" by Arthur Conan Doyle, narrated by a private tutor who reflects on his time teaching the Bollamore children in a historic estate, Thorpe Place. The narrative sets the scene with vivid descriptions of the English countryside and portrays Sir John Bollamore as a complex figure haunted by his past. The tutor's experiences and observations of Sir John's mysterious behavior, particularly in relation to a black japanned box that is said to contain secretive elements of his life, lead him into a deeper intrigue surrounding his employer. The opening not only establishes the characters and their relationships but also hints at impending mystery and moral conflicts that will unfold in the story, inviting the reader into a captivating tale of human emotion and moral complexity.
