New illustrated edition with original drawings by Alec Ball, Frederic Dorr Steele, Knott, and T. V. McCarthy.

'The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax' is one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by British author Arthur Conan Doyle, at first published in the American Magazine and The Strand Magazine, and then part of a collection of eight stories published as a book entitled 'His Last Bow: Some Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes' in some editions titled 'His Last Bow: Some Later Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes'. It's one of the few stories in which for much of the plot Watson must act alone and try his best with Holmes left in the background.

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (22 May 1859 – 7 July 1930) was an Irish-Scots writer and physician, most noted for creating the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes and writing stories about him which are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction.

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.
