A Study In Scarlet
by Doyle, Arthur Conan
A Study in Scarlet is a detective mystery novel written by Scottish author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, which was first published in 1887. It is the first story to feature the character of Sherlock Holmes, who would later become one of the most famous and iconic literary detective characters, with long-lasting interest and appeal. In 1887 Arthur Conan Doyle (May 22, 1959 - July 7 1930) sold the rights to A Study in Scarlet for £25. It was published first in Beeton’s Christmas Annual, and later in 1888 as a novel by Ward, Lock & Co. Doyle was 27 years old, and wrote the story in a reported three weeks. -
