Tales For A Winter's Night
Tales for a Winter's Night brings together eight Arthur Conan Doyle mystery classics that
originally appeared in the Strand between July 1898 and January 1899.
When first gathered into one volume in 1908, the book was entitled Round
the Fire Stories, since the author recommended that they be read
ideally "round the fire" upon a winter's night.
According to Barzun & Taylor in A Catalogue of Crime, "As one reads The Man with
the Watches, The Lost Special, The Jew's Breastplate, The Black Doctor
and the rest, one marvels again at Doyle's natural gift of
story-telling...The stories are worth reading even around a radiator."
Other stories include "The Club-Footed Grocer," "The Sealed Room," "The
Brazilian Cay," and "B.24."
So gather round the fire and listen to these tales as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would have himself told them.
