After Sherlock Holmes` apparently fatal encounter with the sinister Professor Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls, the great detective reappears, to the delight of the faithful Dr Watson in "The Adventure of the Empty House". This follows the celebrated full-length "The Hound of the Baskervilles". The stories are illustrated by Sidney Paget, the finest of illustrators, from whom our images of Sherlock Holmes and his world derive. This is the second of three volumes of "The Complete Sherlock Holmes" reproduced from original copies of "The Strand Magazine". The three books present all the Holmes stories arranged chronologically in order of first publication.
