Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's brilliant, swashbuckling classic, now reissued

'Brigadier Gerard is, after Holmes and Watson, Conan Doyle's most successful literary creation.'
Julian Symons

Mon Dieu! The extraordinary, sabre-rattling adventures of Gerard, a young French cavalry officer in the time of the
Napoleonic wars, introduce a hero who will be adored by fans of Flashman and Sherlock Holmes alike. Gathered here in one edition are both volumes of Conan Doyle's much loved tales, which will delight modern readers with their absurdist humour, infectious warmth and swash-buckling energy.

'The Brigadier Gerard stories display all the narrative gusto of Doyle's more famous Sherlock Holmes, together with an irresistible warmth and humour. The Brigadier himself, bristling with valour and self-regard, is the most preposterous and delightful of companions.'
PHILIP PULLMAN

'Of course I read every Sherlock Holmes story, but the works I like even more than the detective stories are his great historical stories.'
SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL
