This gripping set of tales by the master storyteller Arthur Conan Doyle is bound both to thrill and unnerve you. In these twilight excursions, Doyle`s vivid imagination for the strange, the grotesque and the frightening is given full rein. We move from the mysteries of Egypt and the strange powers granted by "The Ring of Thoth" to the isolated ghostlands of the Arctic in "The Captain of the Polestar", we encounter a monstrous creature in "The Terror of Вlue John Gap" and the beings that live above our heads in "The Brazilian Cat and The Leather Funnel"; and we shudder at the thing in the next room in "Lot 249". Sit down in your uneasy chair and enjoy this unique collection of chillers. Издание на английском языке.

In this selection of tales by the master folklorist Andrew Lang, the reader is taken into the romantic world of the gallant Knights of the Round Table and their courageous and chivalrous deeds, fair maidens, castles steeped in history, the quest for the Holy Grail, and the tragic love of King Arthur and Sir Lancelot for Guinevere, and Tristan for Iseult.The Arthurian legends are the most potent of the thrilling and mist-enshrouded tales of adventure to be passed down from prerecorded history, and they have as much appeal today as they did in the age of the troubadours.
