The Great Keinplatz Experiment
and Other Tales of Twilight & The Unseen
by Arthur Conan Doyle
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, born the third of ten children on May 22, 1859 in Edinburgh, Scotland, is known the world over as the creator of Sherlock Holmes. A prolific writer, Doyle was also a physician, an avid sportsman and a political activist.
The stories collected here are classic examples of Conan Doyle’s not-infrequent forays into the off-beat, the macabre, the mystical and the mysterious. While he became a full-blown spiritualist and paranormal enthusiast later in life, tales of this nature were part of his repertoire from fairly early in his career.
This quality edition has been prepared by human editors and is not a machine-scanned reproduction of an old edition. It includes the complete text of twelve classic short stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, first published together in 1919, in a freshly edited and newly formatted volume printed on heavyweight bright white paper with a fully laminated cover. This edition also includes a biographical sketch of the author and a detailed selected bibliography of his work. A generous 6×9 page size and 11-point font make this book easier and more comfortable to handle and read than standard “trade” or “grocery store” paperbacks.
Many of the short stories in this volume were originally published separately as short stories in various magazines at various times, ranging from 1892 to perhaps 1910. Some have also appeared in other collections. This particular collection of stories was first published together in 1919 by New York publisher George H. Doran and re-issued in 1925 by the same publisher. The tales included here are:

Playing With Fire
