Round
the Fire Stories
By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
PREFACE
In a previous volume, “The Green Flag,” I
have assembled a number of my stories which deal with warfare or with
sport. In the present collection those have been brought together which
are concerned with the grotesque and with the terrible—such tales as
might well be read “round the fire” upon a winter’s night. This
would be my ideal atmosphere for such stories, if an author might choose
his time and place as an artist does the light and hanging of his
picture. However, if they have the good fortune to give pleasure to any
one, at any tune or place, their author will be very satisfied.--ARTHUR
CONAN DOYLE.
