Amazon.com reviews:

"I stumbled upon this in a charity shop a couple of years ago. It's a huge volume, 1200 pages, collecting six previous collections of short stories. Its sits amongst other short story collections by my bed, and I dip into it occasionally. Always a good read, and something entirely different from Sherlock Holmes."

"A comprehensive collection. Many of these stories are terrific."

"Superb storytelling and delicious language but then I am a big fan of his Sherlock Holmes stories as well. Some stories are predictable and some sea stories can get a little technical, but otherwise most stories were unputdownable to me. In the author's own words, I would call this book "singularly noteworthy"."

He is also known for writing the fictional adventures of a second character he invented, Professor Challenger, and for popularising the mystery of the Mary Celeste. He was a prolific writer whose other works include fantasy and science fiction stories, plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction and historical novels..."
