Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a Scottish doctor and author, celebrated for his world-famous creation Sherlock Holmes, the consulting detective who set the standard for crime fiction into the 20th century and beyond. In addition to his Holmes stories, Conan Doyle is also remembered for his fantasy and science fiction novels and stories, including 'The Lost World', his historical fiction, and for numerous short stories contributed to magazines over a 40 year period.

'The Story of the Brown Hand' first appeared in the May 1899 issue of The Strand Magazine, as the last instalment of the 'Round the Fire' series*, twelve unconnected stories of mystery and suspense written by Conan Doyle during the period after he had killed off his most famous creation, Sherlock Holmes. The tale has since achieved a status as a classic ghost story, and is frequently anthologised.

*All twelve of the original 'Round the Fire' stories, narrated by Simon Stanhope, are now available on Audible and iTunes.
