The Land of Mist (Professor Challenger Series)

By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

This early work by Arthur Conan Doyle was originally published in 1826 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography as part of our Professor Challenger 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.

Reviews for The Land of Mist (Professor Challenger Series)

[turtlesleap · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

. . . in which the author defends the concept of spiritualism and attempts to convince the reader of the authenticity of mediums, ectoplasm, spirits and so forth. For those whose only acquaintance with Doyle has been the Sherlock Holmes mysteries, this short book provides a different perspective on the writer.
