When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle sent Sherlock Holmes to his alleged death at Reichenbach Falls, it was to replace him in the pages of The Strand with Brigadier Gerard, a Hussar in the French Army during the wars of Napoleon. Dashing and vain, Gerard is a classic comic foil through which Doyle gives us a delightful look at both French and English foibles. Includes the complete series of stories that ran from 1894-1895 and 1900-1903.
