Guaranteed Authentic
Famed British Writer, Physician, Spiritualist and Sherlock Holmes creator, Sir ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE autograph Uncle Bernac illustrated edition signed and inscribed on the title page by the author, "yours truly, Arthur Conan Doyle".
A prolific writer, today Conan Doyle is perhaps best known for his four novels and fifty-six short stories about the famed detective Sherlock Holmes and his assistant, Dr. Watson, which are milestones in crime fiction. He was knighted by King Edward VII in 1902.
Written in 1897 during the period while Conan Doyle had temporarily "killed off" Holmes at the Reichenbach Fall, Uncle Bernac: A Memory of the Empire is a historical murder mystery novel. Set in 1805 during the reign of Napoleon, it follows Louis de Laval, a young French royalist in English exile who returns to France, meets the mercurial Napoleon, and confronts his treacherous, opportunistic uncle.
