Mysteries and Adventures

Mysteries and Adventures – Arthur Conan Doyle

The dozen tales in this volume have the individuality one would expect, and the frequent touch of the tragic; but they are mostly of adventure in Australia some decades ago, and hence very fresh reading. Among the stories are classics like “My Friend the Murderer”, “The Man from Archangel”, “The Silver Hatchet” and “The American’s Tale”
