The greatest English writer, subtle thinker, public figure, publicist, doctor of medicine and doctor of law, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is known throughout the world as an unsurpassed master of the detective and adventure genres. However, a huge layer of his literary heritage consists of stories that were not included in any of the official cycles: historical, detective, adventure, fantasy, stories about love, ingenious scams, amazing coincidences, sea misadventures... There are also those that mix various themes and genres . Each such story is a small masterpiece, not inferior to the most famous works of the master. We present to the attention of readers the second volume of selected stories by the author, including the so-called “apocrypha” - works at various times attributed to the pen of Conan Doyle, which, however, are not inferior in virtuoso execution to the writer himself.
