Adventures of Gerard

Brigadier Gerard was once the finest swordsman in all of Napoleon's armies... as well as the bravest soldier, the greatest horseman and the most passionate of lovers... at least that is the reputation he is happy to embelish. Now an old man living his retirement in Paris in the middle of the 19th Century, Gerard relates the adventures of his youth, when he was a dashing young Hussar in Napoleon's army. Written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes and Professor Challenger, Brigadier Gerard's adventures mix action and humour and are rightly regarded as classics.
