Rodney Stone

by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

First published 1896

3.6(275)

Young Rodney Stone leaves his quieter Sussex world when his fashionable uncle, Sir Charles Tregellis, takes him into the society of Regency London. Through Tregellis he encounters the Prince of Wales, celebrated sportsmen and the professional prize ring, where reputation and social standing are tested in a very different arena.
Running beside the boxing story is a mystery surrounding Lord Avon and secrets from an earlier generation. The novel moves between drawing rooms, country houses and prize fights, using Rodney’s education to contrast aristocratic codes of honour with the discipline and brutality of bare-knuckle boxing.
