Synopsis "The Sign of the Four (Deseret Alphabet edition) (in English)"

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).
