A collection of short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle exploring medical life with themes of horror and realism in Victorian settings.
Before Sherlock Holmes ever lit his pipe, Arthur Conan Doyle was a physician, and from the dimly lit consulting rooms and crowded hospital wards he drew inspiration for one of his most striking works. "Round the Red Lamp" takes the reader behind the closed doors of Victorian medicine, where the red lamp outside a doctor’s home signaled a place of healing—and sometimes of heartbreak.
