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.

Wieder ein wirklich guter Erzählband. Keine Geschichte war für mich ein Flop, viele fand ich ziemlich gut.
Einige der Geschichten wurden in der BBC Serie "Sherlock" umgesetzt. Da war es echt interessant zu sehen, wie das Original ausgesehen hat.

An Arthur Conan Doyle mag ich, wie er auch in der (meist) kurzen Form Stimmung erzeugt. An "Seine Abschiedsvorstellung" hatte ich jedenfalls viel Freude. Ich war überrascht, daß ich hiervon bisher nur einen einzigen Fall kannte.
