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

[Natasha Holmes · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely adored this novel and I am sad to have finished it. For something written in the late 1800s, I was surprised to find how amusing this book was. I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish and would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to get back into reading classics, or wishing to start such an endeavour. This book did not disappoint. In fact, I rather wish that BBC's 2010 series Sherlock, followed more closely around this story line and character. Side note: if you are not familiar with an older English tongue, you may want to work your way up. It's not extremely difficult, but for today's society, it may very well be considered so. Anyways, loved the book. 10 out of 10!
