"In the month of July of the year 1348, between the feasts of St. Benedict and of St. Swithin, a strange thing came upon England, for out of the east there drifted a monstrous cloud, purple and piled, heavy with evil, climbing slowly up the hushed heaven. In the shadow of that strange cloud the leaves drooped in the trees, the birds ceased their calling, and the cattle and the sheep gathered cowering under the hedges. A gloom fell upon all the land, and men stood with their eyes upon the strange cloud and a heaviness upon their hearts. They crept into the churches where the trembling people were blessed and shriven by the trembling priests. Outside no bird flew, and there came no rustling from the woods, nor any of the homely sounds of Nature. All was still, and nothing moved, save only the great cloud which rolled up and onward, with fold on fold from the black horizon." This book has a beautiful glossy cover and a blank page for the dedication.

When you've got a hankering for classic detective fiction, only the very best will do. The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge is one of the original Sherlock Holmes tales penned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but this lengthy tale unfurls in two parts, straying from many of the familiar themes and structures of other Holmes stories. It's an intriguing read for first-time readers and confirmed Conan Doyle fans alike.

Fancy a good mystery? Dive into this Sherlock Holmes tale from the pen of the master, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Drawn from Doyle's last collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans centers on a set of secret blueprints for a state-of-the-art underwater vessel—and the identity of the man who was carrying them when he fell to his death from a moving train. A must-read for fans of classic detective fiction

Collected here are all four Holmes novels—A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and The Valley of Fear—tracing the origins of the pair up through showdowns with their greatest archenemies, including the infamous Professor Moriarty.

Originally published in 1908 and out of print for more than half a century, this collection of stories, complete with a Preface by the author, presents Sir Arthur Conan Doyle at his finest. These are seventeen tales of suspense and adventure, of the mysterious and the fantastic, meant to be read "round the fire" upon a winter's night. Murder, madness, ghosts, unsolved crimes, diabolical traps, and inexplicable disappearances abound in these exciting accounts narrated by doctors, lawyers, genetlemen, teachers, burglars, dilettantes, and convicted criminals. The titles are inviting—"The Pot of Caviare," "The Clubfooted Grocer," "The Brazilian Cat," "The Sealed Room," and "There Fiend of the Coopergate"—and the stoires are riveting. This is a rediscovered classic by a master storyteller.
