ISBN: 9781853757044 PUBLISHER: Prion Books Ltd FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 656 PUBLICATION DATE: 3.08.2008

DESCRIPTION: Table of Contents

This enthralling collection of Sherlock Holmes adventures comprises the first two volumes of short stories as they were originally gathered together in book form, with twelve adventures in each volume. Initially published in Strand magazine, the first of the short stories followed the successful serialization of Conan Doyle's first two Holmes novels A Study in Scarlet and The Sign of Four.; The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes contains four of Conan Doyle's own all-time favorite Holmes mysteries. 'The Adventure of the Speckled Band', 'The Red-Headed League', 'A Scandal in Bohemia' and 'The Five Orange Pips'.; The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes has another three of Conan Doyle's favorites in 'The Adventure of the Reigate Squire', 'The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual' and 'The Adventure of the Final Problem'. It is in 'The Final Problem', of course, that Dr Watson sadly reports the death of Holmes at the Reichenbach Falls near Meiringen in Switzerland. Holmes's titanic struggle with his arch enemy, Professor Moriarty, had seen them both apparently plunge over a sheer drop, although Watson never actually saw Holmes's body.
