First Conan Doyle novel to be published by Emma Saunders
(from BBC News)
Written before he created Sherlock Holmes, the first novel penned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is to finally be published for the first time. This bit of the article amused me:

Rachel Foss, lead curator of modern literary manuscripts at the British Library, is set to publish The Narrative of John Smith this autumn. She said it had been part of the British Library's Conan Doyle collection since 2007 and realised it would make a good publishing project.

So, how long did it take them to realise an unpublished novel by an immensely and enduringly popular novelist would make a "good publishing project"?!
