About the Author
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh in 1859 and died in 1930. Within those years was crowded a variety of activity and creative work that made him an international figure. He was educated at Stonyhurst, and later studied medicine at Edinburgh University, where the methods of diagnosis of one of the professors provided the idea for the methods of deduction used by Sherlock Holmes.
He set up as a doctor at Southsea and it was while waiting for patients that he began to write. His growing success as an author enabled him to give up his practice and turn his attention to other subjects. He was a passionate advocate of many causes, ranging from divorce law reform and the Channel Tunnel to the issuing of inflatable lifejackets to sailors. He also campaigned to prove the innocence of individuals, and his work on the Edjalji case was instrumental in the introduction of the Court of Criminal Appeal.

About the author

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh in 1859 and died in 1930. Within those years was crowded a variety of activity and creative work that made him an international figure and inspired the French to give him the epithet 'the good giant'. He was the nephew of 'Dickie Doyle' the artist, and was educated at Stonyhurst, and later studied medicine at Edinburgh University, where the methods of diagnosis of one of the professors provided the idea for the methods of deduction used by Sherlock Holmes.
He set up as a doctor at Southsea and it was while waiting for patients that he began to write. His growing success as an author enabled him to give up his practice and turn his attention to other subjects. He was a passionate advocate of many causes, ranging from divorce law reform and the Channel Tunnel to the issuing of inflatable life-jackets to sailors. He also campaigned to prove the innocence of individuals, and his work on the Edjalji case was instrumental in the introduction of the Court of Criminal Appeal. He was a volunteer physician in the Boer War and later in life became a convert to spiritualism.
His greatest achievement was, of course, his creation of Sherlock Holmes, who soon attained international status and constantly distracted him from his other work; at one time Conan Doyle killed him but was obliged by public protest to restore him to life. And in his creation of Dr Watson, Holmes's companion in adventure and chronicler, Conan Doyle produced not only a perfect foil for Holmes but also one of the most famous narrators in fiction. Penguin publish all the books about the great detective, A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, The Uncollected Sherlock Holmes and The Penguin Complete Sherlock Holmes.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2025I bought two of these one as a gift for a friend and one as a gift to me. It is an exquisite book and is a lovely edition to any library. It has beautiful details throughout the book and is just really gorgeous. I bought it for me because I wanted to expand my collection of books that have decorative bindings but are still readable and it was on such a good sale I went ahead an bought on as a birthday gift.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2022So this review isn't on the book itself but the shipping Amazon seems to do for this. This was the 2nd time I received this book, the first was with the slip cover completely off and ripped. It's thin plastic but its flush to the book so it sorta seems like you have to go out of your way to take this off. Sent a request for a replacement because for me, this is a collectors thing. In the meantime I ordered The Great Gatsby and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz so the replacement shipped with it.
I received the 3 today and the other two were with slip cover on it and perfectly fine but for some reason, yet again, the slip cover was off and smashed under all three books. Since it's plastic any dent in it is seen so you can't really smooth this out and slip it back on. It's going to be noticed.
If you're a perfectionist with your books and this is going in your collection (lets be honest, if you're buying a version of this book for its looks like this one, you are) then I would tell you to consider buying it from somewhere else. For some reason on this one alone, whoever is packing it keeps taking the slip cover off and just yeeting it into the box with it. I guess I will just have to have this one without a slip cover since I know my lizard brain will be bothered by it looking like this. The book itself is gorgeous enough that it won't be that much of an issue but I'm still annoyed that I can't have its slip cover looking nice like it should be.
