Silver Blaze

Arthur Conan Doyle

This early work by Arthur Conan Doyle was originally published in 1894 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography as part of our Sherlock Holmes series. Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1859. It was between 1876 and 1881, while studying medicine at the University of Edinburgh, that he began writing short stories, and his first piece was published in Chambers's Edinburgh Journal before he was 20. In 1887, Conan Doyle's first significant work, A Study in Scarlet, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual. It featured the first appearance of detective Sherlock Holmes, the protagonist who was to eventually make Conan Doyle's reputation. A prolific writer, Conan Doyle continued to produce a range of fictional works over the following years. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Ilse

This Sherlock Holmes story set in the world of horse racing was an alright enough mystery that I enjoyed the read of it, but it didn't leave much of an impression on me after finishing it. Sherlock Holmes does what he does best: finding obscure clues and noticing things others don't, leading to the successful solving of the case. It's a fun, short read, especially for fans of Doyle and as such I'd recommend it to read if you have some time to spare and enjoy puzzling the clue to a mystery before checking whether you were right at the end
