The Captain of the Polestar, and Other Tales

About

Doyle's early story collection includes the extraordinary title piece — a ghost story set on a whaling ship in the Arctic, where the captain is haunted by his dead fiancée — and other tales that show the range Doyle commanded before Holmes consumed him. As group reading, 'The Captain of the Polestar' (45-60 minutes) is one of the great Victorian ghost stories and extremely effective as ensemble performance.
