About the author

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a Scottish writer and physician. He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are milestones in the field of crime fiction.

Doyle was a prolific writer. In addition to the Holmes stories, his works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger, and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement" (1884), helped to popularise the mystery of the brigantine Mary Celeste, found drifting at sea with no crew member aboard.

Reviews

[Joel Paul · Rating 5 out of 5]

What can be said about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that hasn't already been said? Nothing really. These stories are great reads because of the character development, descriptions, and plot. I've forgotten how many times I've read each of the stories in this collection. I started reading Sherlock Holmes stories in high school. I'm no longer in high school, and haven't been for, you know, decades. The composition of these works is rich in language and story telling.
