Best known as the creator of the consulting detective par
excellence Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was
a man of wide-ranging interests and talents, and his literary
output went far beyond his Holmes and Watson stories. The Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle Reader collects works from all the genres in
which he wrote, including mysteries, historical adventure tales,
science fiction stories, ghost stories, plays, memoirs, essays on
spiritualism (in which he was a dedicated believer) and reports on
the Boer War and World War I. This collection features the account
of Watson's first meeting with Holmes from A Study in Scarlet, an
account of the dinosaurs inhabiting The Lost World, tales of
Doyle's Napoleonic hero Brigadier Gerard, a condemnation of
Belgium's exploitation of the Congo, and the complete text of his
apocalyptic book The Poison Belt, in addition to several other
stories and excerpts.
