A. CONAN DOYLE.
Reading edition
It were superfluous to say more in regard to the achievements of this great story writer than to allude to the perfect clamor of critical congratulation which greets every new production of his pen. The six stories which the publishers have just put forth in the most approved style, with an elegant illustration on the cover of each, are perhaps the most powerful of his popular works.
The White Company.
"This is a romance of the days of chivalry in Merrie England. For vivid description, trenchant wit and historical glamour we have read nothing to equal it since Ivanhoe."
The Firm of Girdlestone.
"A startlingly realistic novel of the world of business in the metropolis of the universe, London. It is a fascinating book."
Micah Clarke.
"In this volume, A. Conan Doyle transports us to quite a different period of England's history. The tale is placed in the time of the Cavaliers and Roundheads. The author is equally at home here as he was in the delightful story of The White Company."
Beyond the City.
"A simple recital of tragedy and mystery in English family life. Quite unlike the author's average story of warlike deeds and brave hearts, Beyond the City nevertheless possesses the true magnetism which obliges complete perusal once the opening chapter is read."
A Study in Scarlet.
"In this weird book the reader first meets that most fascinating and incomprehensible character, Sherlock Holmes, the detective. One had heard of him so much before, it is like renewing an old and loved acquaintance."
At the Sign of the Four.
"Here we behold again the wonderful deductive work of Sherlock Holmes in the tracing of crimes and criminals. Beyond question, he is the greatest detective creation of any time or language. The story is simply irresistible."
All the above works are bound uniform and printed on heavy white paper. Price, 25 cents.
