The Complete Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle.
Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, who first appeared in publication in 1887. He is the creation of Scottish author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A brilliant London-based detective, Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess and ratiocination, and is renowned for his skillful use of "deductive reasoning" while using abductive reasoning (inference to the best explanation) and astute observation to solve difficult cases. He is arguably the most famous fictional detective ever created, and is one of the best known and most universally recognisable literary characters in any genre.

The Great Boer War is a non-fiction work on the Boer War by Arthur
Conan Doyle and first published in 1900. By the end of the war in 1902
the book had been published in 16 editions, constantly revised by Doyle.
This
account is compiled with as much accuracy as was attainable at this
date, and with as much detail as a single volume will permit. In
frequent conversations with Boers, Conan Doyle has endeavoured to get
their views upon both political and military questions. Often the only
documents he had to consult were the convalescent officers and men
under his care, therefore some errors may have crept in. The closing
scenes of the Boer War have necessarily been treated with less detail
than the earlier.
Follow Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes solving the problem of the goose and hat in ‘The Blue Carbuncle’; finding a missing fiancé in ‘A Case Of Identity’; and discovering the identity of a mysterious person in ‘The Yellow Face’.
