Little Crosby
A butterfly collector is displayed like one of his specimens, drawing Barnaby into an exclusive society for exceptional minds.
Casebook interpretation
Welcome to Little Crosby
Little Crosby is principally known through one case, making this a compact story-location file rather than a claim to a complete village history. Its recorded case material places it in the Casebook's eccentric territory.
Editorial interpretation Where the programme has not established a resident, building or piece of geography, the Casebook leaves it unstated rather than turning inference into canon.
