About the Author

Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a Scottish author best known for his classic detective fiction, although he wrote in many other genres including dramatic work, plays, and poetry. He began writing stories while studying medicine and published his first story in 1887. His Sherlock Holmes character is one of the most popular inventions of English literature, and has inspired films, stage adaptions, and literary adaptations for over 100 years.

Editorial Reviews

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes not only features the great detective's earliest known cases, it also introduces his older and smarter brother Mycroft and brings us face to face with that Napoleon of Crime, the chilling Professor Moriarty. This is, in short, the volume through which Conan Doyle dramatically enlarges the Holmesian universe—and just one reason why any serious Sherlockian will want a copy of these stories in this handsome Edinburgh edition, superbly introduced and crisply annotated by Jonathan Cranfield.

Michael Dirda

Sherlock Holmes is the very foundation stone of the edifice that is crime fiction.”

Times (London)

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
