This early work by Arthur Conan Doyle was originally published in 1919 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.

This collector-quality edition includes the complete text of twelve short stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in freshly edited and newly typeset editions. With a generous 6x9 page size, this Summit Classic edition is printed on hefty 60# bright white paper with a fully laminated cover featuring an original full color design. The stories collected here are classic examples of Conan Doyle's not-infrequent forays into the off-beat, the macabre, the mystical and the mysterious. While he became a full-blown spiritualist and paranormal enthusiast later in life, tales of this nature were part of his repertoire from fairly early in his career. The tales included here are: The Brown Hand The Usher of Lea House School B. 24 The Great Keinplatz Experiment Cyprian Overbeck Wells Playing With Fire The Ring of Thoth The Los Amigos Fiasco How It Happened Lot No. 249 "De Profundis" The Lift Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, born the third of ten children on May 22, 1859 in Edinburgh, Scotland, is known the world over as the creator of Sherlock Holmes. A prolific writer, Doyle was also a physician, an avid sportsman and a political activist. Many of the short stories in this volume were originally published separately as short stories in various magazines at various times, ranging from 1892 to perhaps 1910. Some have also appeared in other collections. This particular collection of stories was first published together in 1919 by New York publisher George H. Doran, and re-issued in 1925 by the same publisher. Additional material collected and presented for Conan Doyle fans, new or old, are a biographical sketch of the author and a detailed bibliography of his work.
