Beschreibung

The writer of several hundred stories and novels, English author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle began his writing career in 1879. While he introduced the world to his most famous character, Sherlock Holmes, in the 1887 novel "A Study in Scarlet", it would not be until the 1891 publication of "A Scandal in Bohemia" that his illustrative career in writing would truly begin. With this Sherlock Holmes short story, the imagination of the reading public was instantly captured and would propel Doyle forever into the annals of English literature. Of the fifty-six Sherlock Holmes stories that Doyle would end up writing the final twelve were collected in a volume entitled "The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes". First published in 1927, "The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes" collects together stories that were originally published in "Strand Magazine" between October of 1921 and March 1927. While some critics have labeled these additions as lesser entries in the canon of Sherlock Holmes, others have viewed them as evidence of a writer struggling to find a new narrative style. Regardless of any critic's opinion, no collection of Sherlock Holmes stories would be complete without these final contributions by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Über den Autor

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a British author and doctor. In 1887, he invented the character Sherlock Holmes for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four books and fifty-six short tales featuring Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are seminal works of criminal fiction. Doyle was a prolific writer; in addition to Sherlock Holmes stories, he wrote fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger, funny stories about Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement" (1884), contributed to the popularity of the Mary Celeste mystery. Doyle is frequently referred to as "Sir Arthur Conan Doyle" or "Conan Doyle," emphasizing that "Conan" is a component of a compound surname rather than a middle name. His baptism entry in St Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh, has "Arthur Ignatius Conan" as his given name and "Doyle" as his surname. It also identifies Michael Conan as his godfather. The British Library and Library of Congress catalogues only list "Doyle" as his surname. Steven Doyle, publisher of The Baker Street Journal, wrote, "Conan was Arthur's middle name." Shortly after graduating from high school, he started using Conan as a type of surname. But technically, his surname is simply 'Doyle'.
