A Duet by Arthur Conan Doyle, Fiction, Mystery & Detective, Historical, Action & Adventure: With an Occasional Chorus - Softcover
Yet as Maude and Frank learn, in this charming novel from the turn of the last century, nothing planned ever goes according to expectation -- and surprising mischief is to be encountered in the workings-out of the most petty of details.
Still, in the end, all ruffles seem to smooth out. These are all the result of love, after all -- of would-be domestic happiness, of two lives trying to find any way possible to intertwine together!
Even during the years he was hard at work on his famous series featuring detective Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle continued to enjoy writing other types of fiction -- as this light-hearted look into one of our oldest social institutions makes amusingly clear.

About the Author:
Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859 - 1930) was a British writer best known for his detective fiction featuring the character Sherlock Holmes. Originally a physician, in 1887 he published A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels about Holmes and Dr. Watson. In addition, Doyle wrote over fifty short stories featuring the famous detective. The Sherlock Holmes stories are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction. Doyle was a prolific writer; his non-Sherlockian works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement", helped to popularize the mystery of the Mary Celeste.
