title: Exploits and Adventures of Brigadier Gerard (New York Review Books Classics)
author: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
description: Conan Doyle is another one of those guys who wrote a ton of stuff but who is remembered now only for his Holmes/Watson mysteries. The 17 stories collected here follow the title character, a swaggering soldier in Napoleon's army famous for his bravery on the field of battle and his romantic forays with women. If historical adventure circulates in your library, throw this into the mix. <br />Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
