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

[Joseph · Rating 3 out of 5]

Conclusion: 3/5. Book for studying English with explanatory Vocabulary and Proper Nouns chapters in the end. Provides explanations in polish. The included Mr. Doyle's stories were short and straight to case.

Below my English level, I would like to think so. Study books as such are a great help in learning a language. I especially enjoy those books that are bilingual - mirrored pages with one side being in language A and the other in language.
