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.

Asi nejlepší starší kniha, co jsem kdy četla. Každý případ byl unikátní a skvěle promyšlený, člověk byl pak úplně pyšnej, když něco správně uhodl.

Jak jinak, než slušné. Jen jsem měla problém s některými povídkami, ve kterých jsem se ztrácela a pak ne úplně pochopila, ale to je jen můj problém. Když už jsem nějakou tu povídku postřehla, tak rozhodně stála za to.

Sherlock Holmes stories are classics so I didn't even think about it to be different. For a long time I've wanted to learn about Sherlock and Watson's most famous cases and now I did and I can't say a bad word about it. Exploring victorian England is just too precious. <3
