In England a red lamp is the sign of a general physician. Although Arthur Conan Doyle is best known for his stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, he was a prolific writer whose other works include science fiction stories, historical novels, plays, romances, poetry, and non-fiction. Round the Red Lamp is a collection of stories all with a medical theme. Doyle said that stories with a graver tone were more likely to have a lasting impact on the reader. Stories in this collection include, Behind the times - His first operation - A straggler of '15 - The third generation - A false start - The curse of Eve - Sweethearts - A physiologist's wife - The case of Lady Sannox - A question of diplomacy - A medical document - Lot no. 249 - The los amigos fiasco - The doctors of Hoyland - The surgeon talks. | Round the Red Lamp by Arthur Conan Doyle, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
