`Tales of Terror and Mystery' is a volume of 13 short stories from the prolific `Sherlock Holmes' author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Stories in the collection include the mystery of a disappearing train in `The Lost Special' and the surprising science-fiction story `The Horror of the Heights'. Full of classic Doyle mystery, this collection also includes some wonderful terror tales from the much-loved author.Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a British author, best known as the creator of the world-famous detective Sherlock Holmes. Born in Edinburgh, he was educated in England and Austria before studying medicine at the University of Edinburgh. It was during his time at university that Doyle began writing short stories, submitting them to magazines and journals. His first Sherlock Holmes novel, `A Study in Scarlet' was written in just three weeks and published in 1887 to favourable reviews, and more Sherlock adventures followed. By 1893, Doyle was growing tired of Sherlock and attempted to kill him off in the story `The Final Problem', but public outcry caused him to resurrect the famous detective. He featured in a total of 56 short stories and four novels along with his trusty sidekick Dr Watson and made Doyle one of the best-paid authors of the time. The stories have been adapted multiple times; most recently in the successful BBC series `Sherlock' starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. Later literary works included the Professor Challenger series which began with `The Lost World', in which Challenger sets out to find evidence of prehistoric life. The book inspired numerous adaptations, including the films `Jurassic Park' and `The Lost World'. In later life Doyle became captivated by the world of spiritualism and the occult and published non-fiction works about his beliefs including `The Coming of the Fairies'. Arthur Conan Doyle died at home in 1930.

Mindrais, petite commune aux confins du Perche et de la Beauce. Maisonneuve, bourg important, se trouve à une dizaine de kilomètres à l'ouest de Mindrais. Senouville est à la même distance, mais au sud. Comme tout village qui se respecte, Mindrais possède : une mairie, un monument aux morts, une école, une église au fin clocher recouvert d'ardoises, un presbytère, un petit cimetière, dont les ifs taillés et les croix dépassent le faîte d'un mur bas. À Maisonneuve, tous les jeudis, se tient un marché bien approvisionné. Les fermiers des environs y apportent les oeufs, le beurre, les volailles, les lapins, que les intermédiaires viennent rafler pour le ravitaillement de la capitale. (...) Quinze ans venaient de s'écouler depuis le soir où Théodore et Henriette Pinchon étaient aarrivés à la ferme de la Haute-Folie, sise à Mindrais, dont ils venaient de se rendre acquéreurs...
