Sherlock Holmes' Schöpfer hatte ihn 1893 eigentlich sterben lassen wollen, doch auf Drängen seiner überwältigend grossen Leserschaft liess Doyle den Meister des kriminalistischen Gespürs mit der untrüglichen Kombinationsgabe wiederauferstehen, um den seltsamen Ereignissen im düsteren Dartmoor auf den Grund zu gehen. 'Der Hund von Baskerville' erschien 1902 als Buchausgabe und wurde ein fulminanter Erfolg.

Love Among the Haystacks and Other Stories gathers together all of Lawrence's short stories not collected in the Prussian Officer volume. It offers a range of work from Lawrence's earliest surviving published story, 'A Prelude', to 'New Eve and Old Adam' written at the height of his early maturity in 1913. Each story in this edition appears in a new, authoritative text based on the manuscripts, typescripts, corrected proofs and early printings drawn from libraries and private collections in England, Italy and America. All the stories have thus been stripped of the layers of errors introduced by typists, editors and printers in their previous publication. John Worthen's introduction sets out the composition and publication history of each story, and gives a full account of the context in which it was created. A textual apparatus records all variant readings and explanatory notes explain allusions, dialect forms and foreign words.
