This anthology collects together Arthur Conan Doyle`s finest Sherlock Holmes stories. The drug-addled, anti-social sleuth has become one of the most iconic characters in fiction and the tales collected here will entertain readers today just as much as when they were first published in the late 19th-century. Featuring such classic cases as `A Scandal in Bohemia` and `The Adventure of the Speckled Band`, this provides the perfect introduction to the world`s favourite detective.
No characters in English literature since those in the great Dickens gallery have taken so firm a hold upon the British and American imagination as Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. They have indeed been elevated above the level of fiction and into the realm of mythology where the learned and the simple meet on an equal footing. The present selection draws the best stories from the several Sherlock Holmes volumes, including one of the longer books, "The Sign of Four", in its logical place among the other chosen tales: "Silver Blaze", "The Speckled Band", "A Scandal in Bohemia", "The Naval Treaty", "The Blue Carbuncle", "The Greek Interpreter", "The Red-Headed League", "The Empty House", "The Missing Three-Quarter", and "His Last Bow"....

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`s 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 comes 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.
