Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) is an English writer who paid homage to practically all literary genres, but is best known as the author of detective, historical-adventure, and fantastic works. And, of course, as the creator of the famous duo—Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Books about the brilliant detective and his simple-minded partner have been translated into practically all languages of the world; Holmes and Watson have become the heroes of countless literary imitations, film adaptations, and stage productions. More than a hundred years have passed since the first story was printed, yet readers around the world still plunge with delight into the world of misty London streets, ominous swamps, and heathland wastes. This edition presents the complete collection of stories and novellas about the great detective from Baker Street.
