Round the Red Lamp, Being Facts and Fancies of Medical Life by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Round the Red Lamp is not a novel, but a collection of short stories. Each is somehow connected with doctors and their work, of the late Victorian era; but beyond that, they hold few similarities. Nostalgia, romance, horror, comedy, science-fiction, realism--the genres vary drastically from story to story, with plots ranging from the heartwarming to the nerve-wracking. And oftentimes, the reader can only guess at what is Fact and what is Fancy.

The subject of Victorian doctors may sound, at a glance, boring; but I found this book to be a real page-turner and excellent reading (with a couple of exceptions). I especially loved the day in the life stories that seemed firmly based on reality (i.e. His First Operation, A Medical Document), and the hilarious A False Start, about a young doctor desperate for patients. Lot No. 249--a creepy, Egyptian mummy story set in Oxford--is probably my favorite. And A Physiologists Wife was another one that stood out to me, such a sad story.

As in the Sherlock Holmes series, Doyles writing style is particularly powerful in the short story format. Within a few pages, you can go from disliking a character to liking them; and the action flows naturally, with plenty of witty dialogue and vivid, but efficient, description. The characters, too, are very life-like, especially for a short story. I dont know how he does it, but its genius...

Recommended for anybody who likes late-Victorian lit.
