Rodney Stone

Set in the glittering, brutal world of Regency England, this historical adventure plunges a young man into the sporting society of bare-knuckle prizefighting, dandies, and the Prince Regent’s circle, centered on a great championship bout. Conan Doyle brings the same energy he gave Sherlock Holmes to a vivid recreation of the boxing ring and the Corinthian age. Rich in period color, memorable characters, and rousing action, Rodney Stone is a colorful tale of sport, honor, and coming of age. Atmospheric and full of incident, it showcases Doyle’s love of history and adventure beyond his famous detective, capturing a raffish, vanished corner of English life.
