This collection of short stories focusses on the broadly Gothic; its areas of concern also reflect some of the non-literary concerns of Conan Doyle's later life, including Spiritualism and miscarriages of justice.
This volume contains three of Conan Doyle's shorter Spiritualist works, one a record of family seances and the other two in defence of the evidence for the religion.
This volume contains all of Conan Doyle's now largely neglected poetry, here collected in one volume for the first time, plus a late, allegorical one-act play, The Journey.
Jane Annie is a comic opera, written for the Savoy Opera House. It was commenced by J. M. Barrie, but Conan Doyle was asked to complete the libretto when Barrie's ill health prevented him continuing work on it. This edition presents the libretto of the entire operetta, together with the humorous notes added by the authors for publication.
This volume contains a number of Conan Doyle's short stories not available elsewhere in this series.
This volume contains Conan Doyle's statements in the two cases where he took it upon himself to apply detective methods to counter errors of justice, together with supporting documents of which he made use. Both are key documents in understanding Conan Doyle's personal relationship with the methods of his most dfamous literary creation, Sherlock Holmes.

One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World'The Hound of the Baskervilles gripped readers when it was first serialised and remains one of Sherlock Holmes's greatest and most popular adventures. Could the sudden death of Sir Charles Baskerville have been caused by the gigantic ghostly hound that is said to have haunted his family for generations? Arch-rationalist Sherlock Holmes characteristically dismisses the theory as nonsense. And, immersed in another case, he sends Dr Watson to Devon to protect the Baskerville heir and observe the suspects at close hand. With its atmospheric setting on the ancient, wild moorland and its savage apparition, The Hound of the Baskervilles is one of the greatest crime novels ever written. Rationalism is pitted against the supernatural and good against evil as Sherlock Holmes sets out to defeat a foe almost his equal. This edition contains a full chronology of Arthur Conan Doyle's life and works, an introduction by renowned horror scholar Professor Christopher Frayling discussing the background to the novel and the legends and events that inspired the story, with further reading and explanatory notes.'Arthur Conan Doyle is unique ... Personally, I would walk a mile in tight boots to read him to the milkman'Stephen Fry

Conan Doyle's six-volume history of the Western Front was written over the period 1916 to 1921; it is this very near contemporaneity of writing, partly under wartime censorship conditions, that is at the same time its main handicap as a study and its main interest as a document.
