Micah Clarke

Micah Clarke was a "serious" historical novel written by Arthur Conan Doyle after he had retired the character of Sherlock Holmes in 1893, not wanting to be remembered for adventure stories.

George Litefoot owned the book after being given a copy as a gift for Christmas but had never read it. Neither had Henry Gordon Jago, who stated that his favourite character was Clarke herself when asked by Doyle despite the titular protagonist being male. By the 63rd century, like all his non-Holmes work, Micah Clarke had been long forgotten. (AUDIO: The Monstrous Menagerie)
