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.

Scorpacciata di Holmes. Amore e denaro sono argomenti ricorrenti.

It's exactly what I hoped it would be.

Doyle's next collection of stories after his resurrection of Sherlock Holmes are every bit as good as his earlier work, and it seems he gives himself a bit more leeway here and there - the stories can be a bit quirkier, and the relationships between Holmes, Watson and Lestrade are at times a bit deeper (there's a moment at the end of "The Adventure of the Six Napoleons" that is genuinely touching - Doyle can really be such a good, honest writer). This edition comes with the novel The Hound of the Baskervilles, which is less a mystery (the solution has some self-acknowledged throwaway elements) than a Victorian gothic as Watson, without Holmes, stays in a shadowy manor and wanders the lonely moors - it's still an awful lot of fun.
