| Publisher Description: Rodney Stone is a Gothic mystery and boxing novel by Scottish writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle rst published in 1896. The eponymous narrator is a Sussex country boy who is taken to London by his uncle Sir Charles Tregellis, a highly respected gentleman and arbiter of fashion who is on familiar terms with the most important people of Great Britain. The novel interweaves Rodney's coming-of- age story with that of his friend Boy Jim's boxing endeavors, and a large portion of it deals with the famous bare-knuckle boxers of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, such as Jem Belcher, John Jackson, Daniel Mendoza, Dutch Sam, and others. It was adapted into a 1913 silent lm, The House of Temperley, directed by Harold M. Shaw.This classic title has been published by RADLEY BOOKS.
