The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
The Adventures of Sherlock
Holmes is perhaps the greatest collection of detective short stories ever written.
From his residence at 221B Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes solves a series of baffling
and bizarre cases using his inimitable deductive powers, recounted to us by the
faithful though sometimes bemused Dr Watson.

The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes
The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes
contains Conan Doyle's last twelve stories about his great fictional detective.
Compared with earlier collections these tales are darker, exploring such themes
as treachery, mutilation and the terrible consequences of infidelity, and containing
such gothic touches as a blood-sucking vampire and crypts at midnight.

The Hound of the Baskervilles &
The Valley of Fear
The Hound of the Baskervilles is one of Doyle's best-known
Holmes novels, frequently adapted for film and television, which is not surprising
given the highly dramatic scenes of mist-wrapped moors echoing to the horrific
howls of a supernatural hound. Is this a genuinely devilish apparition or is there
a cunning murderer at work? Only Sherlock Holmes can solve the mystery. This volume
also contains The Valley of Fear, a dark, powerful tale in which Holmes confronts
the evil Professor Moriarty once more.

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes
Sherlock Holmes is back
on the case in this collection of sparkling short stories. Not only does Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle's brilliant detective investigate a fascinating series of crimes and
misdemeanours in The Memoirs, but we also learn about Holmes' early days as a
sleuth hound and encounter the detective's brilliant brother, Mycroft, who is
a member of the Diogenes Club, one of the strangest establishments in London.
And, of course, in The Final Problem Holmes come face to face with his nemesis,
Professor Moriarty, The Napoleon of Crime. Their struggle, seemingly to the death,
was to leave many readers desolate at the loss of Holmes, but was also to lead
to his immortality as a literary figure. As well as his witty and illuminating
Afterword to this edition, David Stuart Davies, the illustrious editor of Sherlock
magazine, has provided a fascinating chronology of the Sherlock Holmes stories.

The Return of Sherlock Holmes
& His Last Bow
Ten years after the supposed death of Sherlock Holmes
at the Reichenbach Falls, Arthur Conan Doyle was to bow to popular pressure and
the large fees offered by publishers to revive the detective's career. To the
astonishment of Dr Watson and the delight of his readers Holmes returns to Baker
Street, explains how he escaped death at the Falls and is ready to commence detective
work once more. Doyle provided a rich and fascinating set of mysteries to challenge
his sleuth in this collection. As before, Watson is the superb narrator and his
magic remains unchanged and undimmed. In His Last Bow, the final story of this
collection, we are told how Sherlock Holmes is brought out of retirement to help
the Government fight the German threat at the approach of the First World War.
It is the last time that Holmes and Watson work together. As well as his witty
and illuminating Afterword to this edition, David Stuart Davies, the illustrious
editor of Sherlock magazine, has provided a fascinating chronology of the Sherlock
Holmes Stories.

A
Study in Scarlet and The Sign of the Four
A Study in Scarlet introduced
the great scientific detective Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, his friend and
chronicler, to the reading public. This novel, a cornerstone in the annals of
crime fiction, tells of their first meeting and how they set up in rooms together
in Baker Street. It is not long before the charismatic sleuth and his faithful
companion are plunged into a dramatic mystery which starts with the discovery
of a corpse in a deserted house and the letters RACHE scrawled on the wall in
blood. The Sign of the Four, the second Holmes novel, presents the detective with
one of his greatest challenges - solving the theft of the great Agra treasure
in India. In these two classic novels you have the foundation of the Sherlock
Holmes legend. As well as his witty and illuminating Afterword to this edition,
David Stuart Davies, the illustrious editor of Sherlock magazine, has provided
a fascinating chronology of the Sherlock Holmes Stories.
