edition.
Product Description
This collection includes many of the famous cases - and great strokes of brilliance - that made the legendary Sherlock Holmes one of fiction's most popular creations. With his devoted amanuensis, Dr Watson, Holmes emerges from his smoke filled rooms in Baker Street to grapple with the forces of treachery, intrigue and evil in such cases as 'The Speckled Band', in which a terrified woman begs their help in solving the mystery surrounding her sister's death, or 'A Scandal in Bohemia', which portrays a European king blackmailed by his mistress. In 'Silver Blaze' the pair investigate the disappearance of a racehorse and the violent murder of its trainer, while in 'The Final Problem' Holmes at last comes face to face with his nemesis, the diabolical Professor Moriarty - 'the Napoleon of crime'.

This book contains the best and the worst of the Sherlock Holmes stories. The Adventures are earlier stories and some of the best in the series. The Memoirs are the latest short stories and written after Conan Doyle had lost interest in the character. Needless to say all of them are still worth a read and even the worst are still better written than many modern stories.

If you've never read any of the Sherlock Holmes stories (where have you been?!), then this is the perfect place to start. Each story is a complete pleasure from start to finish, and you'll be amazed at how Conon Doyle has managed to cram so many twists and turns into such a small word count. Absolutely perfect!
If this book doesn't instil a lifelong love of Sherlock Holmes, nothing will!

The 'Adventures' arrived earlier than advertised (Amazon are pretty good at that usually).
