The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (Deseret Alphabet Edition)

by Arthur Conan Doyle

Overview

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a Scottish physician and writer. Although he wrote a number of series, such as his Professor Challenger stories, he is by far best known as the creator of Sherlock Holmes. In later life he gained notoriety for his belief in spiritualism and the Cottingley Fairies.

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes is the second anthology of Sherlock Holmes short stories, which had been published in The Strand Magazine in 1892 and 1893. It includes "The Final Problem," which was Doyle's unsuccessful attempt to end the series; fans eventually convinced him to bring Holmes back. Also included in this edition is "The Cardboard Box," missing from the first English edition of the Memoirs, but present in the first American one.

This book is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for writing English developed in the mid-19th century at the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah).
