About the Book

The 12 short stories featured in this volume were the catalyst for the first literary fandom, the success of The Strand Magazine, and Arthur Conan Doyle's lifelong career as the writer of the Sherlock Holmes adventures. Enter the smoky rooms of 221B Baker Street and immerse yourself in the intriguing lives of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. This volume features tales including 'The Adventure of the Speckled Band' and 'The Red-Headed League', which Arthur Conan Doyle named his favourite Holmes stories. Each of these twelve mysteries highlights the famous detective's remarkable skill and methods, narrated by Watson. The stories featured in this volume include: - A Scandal in Bohemia - The Red-Headed League - A Case of Identity - The Boscombe Valley Mystery - The Five Orange Pips - The Man with the Twisted Lip First published in The Strand Magazine magazine between July 1891 and June 1892, this edition includes the stories' original illustrations by Sidney Paget. A specially commissioned introduction also features in this volume, alongside an article by Arthur Conan Doyle and an essay on the history of detective fiction by S.S. Van Dine.

Review :
"We know no book of its kind which we can recommend so sincerely, and with so little reserve as this record of the wonderful doings of Sherlock Holmes. Mr. Doyle has a wealth of imagination which lets him simply revel in the cunning intricacies of situations which, until he himself chooses to unravel them, will overtax the ingenuity of even the most practiced reader" - Tablet, 1893 "For those to whom the good, honest, breathless detective story is dear, Dr. Doyles book will prove a vertiable godsend. Of the dozen stories of which the book is made up, there is not one which does not contain a thorough-paced mystery, apparently insoluble but the solution is always satisfactorily wormed out by that marvellous detective, Sherlock Holmes." - Athenaum, 1894 "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes should be read by all who desire to improve their faculty of observation. Fathers would do well to make it a birthday present to their boys, and if they do this they certainly may have the comforting thought that the book will be read from beginning to end." - Glamorgan Gazette, 1896 "A better collection of short stories has seldom, if ever, been put together." - Times of India, 1892
