Tales of Long Ago

Although he is best-known to the public as the author of the Sherlock Holmes stories and other pioneering works of detective fiction, Arthur Conan Doyle successfully contributed to other genres, such as historical fiction, as demonstrated by this collection which he compiled in 1922. These vivid and enthralling stories - many of them dealing with ancient Romans, with others featuring Tyrians, Carthaginians, Huns or Scottish clansmen - showcase the author's knack for bringing to life diverse times and places and crafting timeless narratives. Tales of Long Ago is an entertaining and invaluable read for all those interested in this lesser-known facet of Conan Doyle's writing.Contains: The Last of the Legions, The Last Galley, Through the Veil, The Coming of the Huns, The Contest, The First Cargo, An Iconoclast, Giant Maximin, The Red Star, The Silver Mirror, The Homecoming, A Point of Contact.Alma Classics is committed to make available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
