Product Description

Synopsis

Reprinted from a standard text, this inexpensive large print volume offers mystery lovers a choice selection of eight of the finest Sherlock Holmes stories: "The Red-headed League," "A Scandal in Bohemia," "The Adventure of the Speckled Band," "The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb," "The Final Problem," "The Adventure of the Empty House," "The Mosgrave Ritual," and "The Adventure of the Dancing Men." In these richly atmospheric stories. Victorian London comes vividly to life as hansom cabs clatter over cobblestoned streets, gas lamps flare in the thick fog, and an almost palpable sense of excitement seizes the reader as Holmes and Dr Watson set off on another adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars A pleasure from cover to cover!, 4 Oct 2009
By Mrs. A. J. Shingler (Stoke, Staffs) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had never read any of the many Holmes mysteries before and picking up this (large print) version was the best thing I ever did as it was also my first ever large print book!

The pleasure in (at last) being able to read comfortably was undeniable and the equal pleasure I got out of the short stories was huge. I loved the stories, admired the style and now intend to read a lot more of Conan-Doyle's works - probably moving onto the novels next.

I don't know why C-D is not on the GCSE reading list because it should be. As a piece of social history the works are splendid and also as little literary masterpieces I found each story to be tremendously well-done. Yes, some stories may be a little bit contrived, but there is plenty of room for literary license.

Finally, if they exist, I'd love to read more of these in large print.
