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.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is a wonderful writer. It's no wonder Sherlock Holmes has become as popular a character as he has. While there are a handful of words here and there which are no longer in our common modern vernacular, his writing reads very well, and he has some fantastic stories. I'm so glad I decided to read this on a whim (and certainly without realizing how long the book is). I'd seen some of the video versions of many of his stories, such as the British modern take with the show Sherlock, and while I like that show and the obvious bows to the original works (such as their first episode a Study in Pink, so many wonderful references to A Study in Scarlet), there are some cases that just absolutely blow away the condensed versions like The Hound of the Baskervilles. If I had one criticism it would simply be that one of the books seems out of order. The cases with Moriarty are few in number and mostly in the beginning of the compilation, but there is a case near the end of the book that is clearly occurring when Moriarty is still alive and pulling a lot of strings, and that felt out of place. Otherwise, an excellent book which I would whole hearted recommend.
