Doyle's autobiographical work The Stark Munro Letters (1895), is a meditative epistolary account of his views on religions and their dogmas. Doyle writes through the persona of a young man who is in the process of setting up his private practice of medicine. Set in the Victorian era, it is a reflection of society and religion and a constructive commentary on the hardships every beginner confronts when beginning a career.

The narrative unfolds in the placid English countryside. Focusing on the trap of lust and deceit, Doyle highlights the deep influence of trivial matters on our destinies. Revolving around three small groups of Victorian people who were crossing the boundaries of their middle-class lives, he mercilessly comments on the class-division in societies. Astonishing!

This volume collects two works by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The title work, The Doings of Raffles Haw (1891), is scientific romance about a disenchanted gold maker who has discovered a way to turn lead into solid gold and uses his wealth to help people. But when he sees that his philanthropic activities don't benefit anyone, he becomes disillusioned. The other story, Our Lady of Death, presents cultural and religious conflicts.
