A Sherlock Holmes: A Study in Scarlet (Sherlock Complete Set 1) by Arthur Conan Doyle
The stunning story in which Sherlock Homes made his debut
He is unique in simultaneously bringing down the curtain on an era and raising one on another, ushering in a genre of writing that.. has never been surpassed. His own life, as footballer... eye surgeon, champion of injustice and investigator into the paranormal, is the stuff of legend. Personally, I would walk a mile in tight boots to read his letters to the milkman * Stephen Fry, The Arthur Conan Doyle Collection *
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh on May 22, 1859, one of seven children who survived to adulthood. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, when he started to write short stories. His most famous character, Sherlock Holmes, first appeared in A Study in Scarlet in 1887.
