Excerpt from The Last Galley: Impressions and Tales

I have written Impressions and Tales upon the title-page of this volume, because I have included within the same cover two styles of work which present an essential difference.

The second half of the collection consists of eight stories, which explain themselves.

An eclectic mix, a story from just about any genre you could think of here, from romance to pirates.

Struggle with short story collections by this author because you always find tales repeated in several books and mostly you don't want to read them more than once. The main, and opening, stories are really good, although there is a couple of repeats towards the end of course....better than most.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent collection of short stories
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 22, 2011

This book can be split into two parts; the first is a series of vignettes that start at the fall of Carthage to the growing Roman Empire, and continue through to the collapse of the Western Empire and the beginnings of Islam, covering some of the key points in Roman History. The second part of the book contains a series of unrelated short stories closer to the present day.

Arthur Conan Doyle is a superb writer and manages to really bring the topics to life. I found the stories simple to follow and really engaging to read. They can each be read on their own, or you can simply read straight through as I did. He demonstrates an excellent use of language and portrays people and events in a way that makes the stories enjoyable.

I get the feeling that these stories were probably written primarily for younger people, possibly as short stories to be serialised within a newspaper or magazine; and then subsequently published together. I found it to be a great book and well worth downloading to my Kindle.
