The story marks the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, who would become the most famous detective duo in literature. The book's title derives from a speech given by Holmes, a consulting detective, to his friend and chronicler Watson on the nature of his work, in which he describes the story's murder investigation as his study in scarlet There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it. The story, and its main characters, attracted little public interest when it first appeared. Only 11 complete copies of the magazine in which the story first appeared, Beeton's Christmas Annual for 1887, are known to exist now and they have considerable value. Although Conan Doyle wrote 56 short stories featuring Holmes, A Study in Scarlet is one of only four full-length novels in the original canon. The novel was followed by The Sign of the Four, published in 1890. A Study in Scarlet was the first work of detective fiction to incorporate the magnifying glass as an investigative tool.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":54982358598005,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":54982358761845,"sku":"NIN9789355460530","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/6996\/5613\/files\/9355460538.jpg?v=1738857146"},{"product_id":"study-in-scarlet-book-a-conan-doyle-9781397664891","title":"A Study in Scarlet","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":55020072730997,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":55020072927605,"sku":"NIN9781397664891","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/6996\/5613\/files\/1397664894.jpg?v=1739207125"},{"product_id":"sign-of-four-book-a-conan-doyle-9781444644852","title":"The Sign Of Four","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":55023605055861,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":55023605252469,"sku":"NIN9781444644852","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/6996\/5613\/files\/1444644858.jpg?v=1739246445"},{"product_id":"great-keinplatz-experiment-book-a-conan-doyle-9781023814065","title":"The Great Keinplatz Experiment","description":"\u003cp\u003eVenture into the intriguing world of Victorian scientific curiosity with The Great Keinplatz Experiment, a captivating short story by A.

After all, Sherlock Holmes is perhaps the foremost literary detective of any age. Add to this canon his stories of science fiction and his poems, his historical novels, his political campaigning, his efforts in establishing a Court Of Appeal and there is little room for anything else. Except he was also an exceptional writer of short stories of the horrific and macabre. Something very different from what you might expect. Born in Arthur Conan Doyle was born on 22 May 1859 at 11 Picardy Place, Edinburgh, Scotland. From 1876 - 1881 he studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh following which he was employed as a doctor on the Greenland whaler Hope of Peterhead in 1880 and, after his graduation, as a ship's surgeon on the SS Mayumba during a voyage to the West African coast in 1881. Arriving in Portsmouth in June of that year with less than  10 ( 700 today 13]) to his name, he set up a medical practice at 1 Bush Villas in Elm Grove, Southsea. The practice was initially not very successful. While waiting for patients, Conan Doyle again began writing stories and composed his first novel The Mystery of Cloomber. Although he continued to study and practice medicine his career was now firmly set as a writer. And thereafter great works continued to pour out of him. Here Rodney Stone is another enduring example of the man and his work.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":57259899781493,"sku":"NGR9789358591477","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/6996\/5613\/files\/9789358591477.jpg?v=1780834083"}],"url":"https:\/\/stage.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-a-conan-doyle.oembed","provider":"World of Books Staging","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
