Ebenezer Scroggie (1792-1836)

Death: 1836 Location: Canongate Kirkyard , Edinburgh, Scotland Photo taken by: Kim Traynor In his diaries, Charles Dickens states that his celebrated fictional character Ebenezer Scrooge stems from a grave marker which he saw in 1841, while taking an evening walk in the Canongate Kirkyard. The headstone was for Ebenezer Scroggie. The marker identified Scroggie as a "meal man" (corn merchant), but Dickens misread this as "mean man" , due to the fading light and his mild dyslexia. The grave marker was lost during construction work at part of the Kirkyard in 1932.

Ion Luca Caragiale (1852-1912)

Death: 9th July 1912 Location: Cimitirul Bellu (Bellu Cemetery), Bucharest, Romania Cause of death: Heart Attack Photo taken by: Joe Mabel Buy books by Ion Luca Caragiale Wallachian-born Romanian playwright, short story writer, poet, theatre manager, political commentator and journalist. He is considered one of the greatest Romanian playwrights and writers, a leading representative of local humour, and a main representative of Junimea , an influential literary society with which he parted during the second half of his life. Caragiale's work, spanning four decades, covers the ground between Neoclassicism, Realism, and Naturalism, building on an original synthesis of foreign and local influences. His plays constituted an important venue for criticism of late 19th-century Romanian society, while in later works of fiction Caragiale adopted the fantasy genre or turned to historical fiction.

Rampo was an admirer of western mystery writers, and especially of Edgar Allan Poe (his pen name is a rendering of Poe's name). He was also influenced by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle , whom he attempted to translate into Japanese. In 1923 he made his literary debut by publishing the mystery story The Two-Sen Copper Coin (二銭銅貨). Over the course of the next several years, Edogawa went on to write a number of other stories that focus on crimes and the processes involved in solving them. Among these stories are a number of...
