Round the Fire Stories is a collection of thirteen tales by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, first published in 1908. Deliberately set apart from his famous Sherlock Holmes detective fiction, these stories embrace mystery, horror, and the supernatural. In his introduction, Doyle explains that such tales are best savored in the imaginative mood of fireside reading, where strangeness and terror take hold. The volume includes memorable pieces such as "The Brazilian Cat," "The Lost Special," "The Terror of Blue John Gap," and "The Leather Funnel," weaving suspense, adventure, and eerie atmosphere into classic Victorian-Edwardian storytelling.
