Songs of Action

Songs of Actions by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

It never occurred to me that apart from Holmes, Conan Doyle has other works, especially poetry. What surprised me more is that this collection of poetry, or more like a collection of folksongs, comprises works that appeal kinds of human emotions, especially those describing battle field. It is quite difficult to imagine that the one who wrote such ardent poetry should create a over-calm, minute, exact figure like Holmes! But well, this collection is a delight for reading, easy, passionate, and fluent.

Oh my goodness. I am right now tracking the translation of Doyle's works in Taiwan. And here i am, the first thing on your blog (yes, i'm a late-comer :p). I've just read an article about him. Besides Holmes, he also wrote science fictions. It's shame of me to think there was a mistake in the library bibliography. How come sth like "恐龍世界" is listed under him. haha. No wonder Doyle wanted to kill Holmes. His other achievement became invisible.
