Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a Scottish physician and writer. Although he wrote a number of series, such as his Professor Challenger stories, he is by far best known as the creator of Sherlock Holmes. In later life he gained notoriety for his belief in spiritualism and the Cottingley Fairies. The Hound of the Baskervilles (1902) is the third Sherlock Holmes novel, and the first adventure of the Great Detective published after Doyle's attempt at killing the character off. It is also by far the best-known and best-beloved Sherlock Holmes story, often adapted for film or television. The combination of the desolate setting and a horrifying creature straight out of legend has proven irresistible for over a century. This book is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for writing English developed in the mid-19th century at the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah).

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a Scottish physician and writer. Although he wrote a number of series, such as his Professor Challenger stories, he is by far best known as the creator of Sherlock Holmes. In later life he gained notoriety for his belief in spiritualism and the Cottingley Fairies. Doyle invented Sherlock Holmes for his 1886 novel, A Study in Scarlet. It was a modest success. Doyle followed it up four years later with The Sign of the Four. Here he introduces to the Holmes mythos such elements as Holmes' drug use, and tells a story of betrayal, murder, revenge, cannibal savages-and true love. This book is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for writing English developed in the mid-19th century at the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah).

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a Scottish physician and writer. Although he wrote a number of series, such as his Professor Challenger stories, he is by far best known as the creator of Sherlock Holmes. In later life he gained notoriety for his belief in spiritualism and the Cottingley Fairies. The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes is the second anthology of Sherlock Holmes short stories, which had been published in The Strand Magazine in 1892 and 1893. It includes "The Final Problem," which was Doyle's unsuccessful attempt to end the series; fans eventually convinced him to bring Holmes back. Also included in this edition is "The Cardboard Box," missing from the first English edition of the Memoirs, but present in the first American one. This book is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for writing English developed in the mid-19th century at the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah).

""There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it"". So said Sherlock Holmes in A Study in Scarlet, Arthur Conan Doyle's classic novel that first introduced the legendary detective to the world. Now, for the first time, you can unravel that scarlet thread in the Shavian alphabet. The Shavian alphabet takes its name from Irish writer Bernard Shaw who inspired and posthumously funded it. Shaw believed there should be a simpler way to write English. His wish was fulfilled in 1962 following a worldwide competition. The result was an alphabet designed especially for English, with a unique letter for each of the 40 or so basic sounds we all use today. Whether you view this book as a linguistic curiosity, an eccentric experiment, or as inspiration to explore the possibilities of spelling reform, it shows one thing: the logic of English orthography does not have to remain a mystery worthy of the great detective.
