Synopsis

This vintage book contains an expansive collection of Arthur Conan Doyle's powerful and beautiful poetry. Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859 - 1930) was a seminal Scottish writer and physician, most remembered for his fictional tales about the legendary detective, Sherlock Holmes. His books are widely hailed as milestones in the genre of crime fiction. This wonderful collection of poesy would make for a worthy addition to any collection, and will be of special interest to fans and collectors of Doyle's work. The poems contained herein include: 'The Song of the Bow', 'Cremona', 'The Storming Party', 'The Frontier Line', 'Corporal Dick's Promotions', 'A Forgotten Tale', 'Fennarby Mine', 'A Rover Chanty', 'A Ballad of the Ranks', 'A Lay of the Links', 'The Dying Whip', 'Master', and many more. This compendium was first published in 1922, and is being republished now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
