Unabridged (100% Original content) Font adjustments & biography included Illustrated  About The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. It was first published on 14 October 1892, though the individual stories had been serialised in The Strand Magazine between June 1891 and July 1892. The stories are not in chronological order, and the only characters common to all twelve are Holmes and Dr. Watson. As with all but four of the Sherlock Holmes stories, those contained within The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes are told by a first-person narrative from the point of view of Dr. Watson. In general the stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes identify, and try to correct, social injustices. Holmes is portrayed as offering a new, fairer sense of justice. The stories were well received, and boosted the subscriptions figures of The Strand Magazine, prompting Doyle to be able to demand more money for his next set of stories. The first story, "A Scandal in Bohemia", includes the character of Irene Adler, who, despite being featured only within this one story by Doyle, is a prominent character in modern Sherlock Holmes adaptations, generally as a love interest for Holmes. Doyle included four of the twelve stories from this collection in his twelve favourite Sherlock Holmes stories, picking "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" as his overall favourite.

Accompany the world's greatest detective through the sinister streets of foggy London, into the most remarkable adventures imaginable: Each and every one of the stories in the volume -- "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," or the adventures of the Blue Carbuncle, the Speckled Band, the Engineer's Thumb, the Noble Bachelor, the Beryl Coronet, and the Copper Beeches -- will thrill, delight and astound you. Watch the genius of detection grapple with treachery, duplicity, and murderous evil -- watch him solve the insoluble, bring justice to the unjustifiable, and light to questions that will take no illumination. Sherlock Holmes is the one true pastmaster of the modern mystery; if you haven't read THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES, it's time to correct that error now.

'He's an intelligent man. He was once rich and is now poor. His wife loved him once, but she doesn't love him now. And he's thirty or forty years old.' One look at an old hat, and Sherlock Holmes can tell you a lot about its owner. He sees - and thinks - a lot more than the people around him, and when a beautiful blue diamond disappears, Sherlock is the only man in London who can find it.
