Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is of course famous for his creation of the great Sherlock Holmes. The stories of the master detective are justifiably well known but he also wrote many short stories which are not so well known but deserve to be. The four stories in this recording were first published singly in magazines, principally "The Strand." They later appeared in the collection "The Great Keinplatz Experiment and Other Tales of Twilight and the Unseen" in 1919. They are:

"The Brown Hand"
"Playing with Fire"
"How it Happened"
"De Profundis"
