From archive (archive) Subject: Author Lists: Arthur Conan Doyle From: JWenn.ESAE@XEROX.COM Date: 20 Jun 89 07:17:38 GMT Yea, yea. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is the guy who wrote Sherlock Holmes. But like many working writers of the late 19th / early 20th centuries, he wrote in a number of different fields. He wrote a number of works in the realms of adventure tales, historical romances and science fiction. His best overtly SF is the Professor Challenger stories. "The Lost World", while not wonderfully written, tells the story of an egocentric scientist who discovers a lost plateau in South America where neanderthals and dinosaurs live side by side. Rather fun if you have a taste for the adventure stories of the era. [C] == Short Story Collection. [O] == Omnibus.
