Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 - 1930) was an English writer best known for his detective stories about Sherlock Holmes. "Tales of Adventure" is an astounding collection that anthologizes some of the best short fiction stories of the author outside of the world-famous detective's canon, including excellent tales like "The Surgeon of Gaster Fell", "The Sealed Room", and "The Great Brown-Pericord Motor".
