This early work by Arthur Conan Doyle was originally published in 1891 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1859. It was between 1876 and 1881, while studying medicine at the University of Edinburgh, that he began writing short stories, and his first piece was published in Chambers's Edinburgh Journal before he was 20. In 1887, Conan Doyle's first significant work, A Study in Scarlet, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual. It featured the first appearance of detective Sherlock Holmes, the protagonist who was to eventually make Conan Doyle's reputation. A prolific writer, Conan Doyle continued to produce a range of fictional works over the following years. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

The protagonist of the tale is the enigmatic Raffles Haw, who makes a singular and perplexing suggestion to the villagers of a little English village. A wealthy and eccentric guy named Raffles Haw gives the villagers the opportunity to write down their wishes and receive everything they want. The caveat is that at some point in the future, people will have to consent to pay a certain amount for their wants. The ramifications of these deals and the effects of unexpected wealth on people and the community are examined in the novel. The story explores issues of greed, morality, and the unintended repercussions of material wants as the villagers grant their wishes and deal with the ensuing consequences. Doyle crafts a story that incorporates morality, intrigue, and paranormal activity. George "Goring" Ramsay, the main character, watches the events with a mixture of wonder and scepticism as the story is told. In order to create a thought-provoking story that examines the intricacies of human nature when faced with the appeal of limitless desires and the potential costs associated with them, Doyle deftly combines elements of the supernatural with societal commentary across the whole book.
