Launching Sherlock Holmes to an adoring readership, A Study in Scarlet was the first of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's enduring stories starring his enigmatic detective and his sidekick Dr Watson. This edition also includes the short story 'The Man with the Watches'.

AUTHOR: Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. As a medical student, he was so impressed by his professor's powers of deduction that he was inspired to create the illustrious and much-loved figure, Sherlock Holmes. Holmes is known for his keen power of observation and logical reasoning, which often astounds his companion Dr. Watson.

However, Conan Doyle became increasingly interested in spiritualism, leaving him keen to explore more fantastical elements in his stories. Conan Doyle was a prolific writer of non-fiction, history, plays, poems, short stories, and novels, and whatever the subject, his vibrant and remarkable characters have breathed life into all of his work, engaging readers throughout the decades.
