The Doings of Raffles Haw

This volume collects two works by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The title work, The Doings of Raffles Haw (1891), is scientific romance about a disenchanted gold maker who has discovered a way to turn lead into solid gold and uses his wealth to help people. But when he sees that his philanthropic activities don't benefit anyone, he becomes disillusioned. The other story, Our Lady of Death, presents cultural and religious conflicts.
