Farson has corrected some elements of the text where needed, and there are spaces left blank for illustrations to be added. The other production-copy of the book features various laid-in newspaper articles by Farson detailing the book's release and reviews in various publications. 'The Dog Who Knew Too Much' reworked the characters from the Jeremy Thorpe scandal into those of dogs. Rinka, a dog that was killed during the attempted murder of Norman Scott was no doubt the inspiration for it's topic. From the rear cover: 'The explosive story of murder, intrigue and conspiracy set in the Devon countryside. Any similarity to recent headlines is purely co-incidental. The characters portrayed bear no relationship to any dogs in that area, living or dead '. The book was published by Jay Landesman Ltd, and illustrated by John & Mary Hiscock. Rare.

On the family's return to England he joined the Great Western Railway as a draughtsman, rising to become Chief Clerk at London Paddington in the 1920s. He authored many carefully researched articles for the GWR Magazine and was highly respected for his knowledge of railway structure and history. He also produced pamphlets and newspaper articles on his ancestral county of Dorset where again his research was meticulous and well regarded. Apart from being a talented draughtsman he was also a good artist. He passed his mathematical talents and passion for the railway on to his son Frederick William Warren who inherited the comprehensive set of draughtsmen's tools now on sale. F.W. Warren was employed by the GWR from the 1930s to the1960s, and the intervening World War meant that his surveying skills were much in demand helping to repair enemy action damage to the permanent way over a large area of the West County and London.
