This cheap paperback edition brings together eight of the Round the Fire Stories, and provides a good introduction to Conan Doyle's mystery writings.
The titles will be familiar to many: The Man with the Watches, The Black Doctor, The Jew's Breastplate, The Lost Special, The Club-Footed Grocer, The Sealed Room, The Brazilian Cat, B. 24 — all good material with which to while away those long winter evenings.
