Arthur Conan Doyle
16.3k books24.7k followersSir 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.

I got this fancy version of what happen to be some of my favorites of 'the Canon' for Christmas so it was nice revisiting them. My other copy is a giant omnibus that has ALL of the stories in on book in very small print that is not the easiest to read.
This is a nice book with gold leaf and a book mark ribbon and raised print on the cover. Of course, that doesn't change the words... you can't really go wrong with Holmes though. Red Headed League is still my favorite, and of course there is Scandal in Bohemia, which gave us Irene Adler.
It looks like they have done one of the other collections in a similar format, so I'll probably pick that up at some point.
