Doyle, unsuccessful in his medical practice, in need of money and a
more satisfying career, had already sold a number of magazine
stories when he wrote the novella, "A Study in Scarlet," the first
Sherlock Holmes story, which, after many rejections, was published
in Beeton's Christmas Annual for 1887. Doyle got twenty-five pounds
for all rights to the story. He never received another penny for
it, although fortunately, in one of those little contractual
details that could have changed literary history forever, he
retained rights to the character. Here is the book, A Study in
Scarlet, that introduced the world to Sherlock Holmes and his
faithful side kick Dr. Watson.
