Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was an author most noted for his stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, which are generally considered a major innovation in the field of crime fiction, and for the adventures of Professor Challenger. He was a prolific writer whose other works include science fiction stories, historical novels, plays and romances, poetry, and non-fiction.

Sir Nigel 1906
A historical romance and tale of adventure, set in England during the fourteenth century. Descendent of a noble family, Nigel Loring is the last of his race, and living alone with his aged grand-mother, upon a small remnant of their great estate.
Uncle Bernac 1897
"Simple, clear, and well defined.... Spirited in movement all the way through.... A fine example of clear analytical force."--Boston Herald.
Rodney Stone 1896
"Dr. Doyle's novel is crowded with an amazing amount of incident and excitement.... He does not write history, but shows us the human side of his great men, living and moving in an atmosphere charged with the spirit of the hard-living, hard-fighting Anglo-Saxon."--New York Critic.
The Refugees 1893
Set at the end of the seventeenth century in Paris and the New World.
Micah Clarke 1889
It is said to be a regret of the gifted author that the success of his ingenious Sherlock Holmes stories has obscured his more thoughtful work. This regret must be shared by the reader. Pleasing though Doyle's detective stories are, they do not compare in sustained interest and dramatic power with these two splendid novels of English History. In them are heroic characters, stirring incidents, and the expression of high ideals.
