A Study in Scarlet & The Sign of the Four

Condition: BRAND NEW ISBN: 9781840224115 Author(s): Arthur Conan Doyle Format: Paperback Year: 2001 Publisher: Wordsworth Editions Ltd Pages: 224 Series: Wordsworth Classics

Description: 'Doctor Watson, Mr Sherlock Holmes' - The most famous introduction in the history of crime fiction takes place in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 'A Study in Scarlet', bringing together Sherlock Holmes, the master of science detection, and John H. Watson, the great detective's faithful chronicler. This novel not only establishes the magic of the Holmes myth but also provides the reader with a dramatic adventure yarn which ranges from the foggy, gas-lit streets of London to the burning plains of Utah. 'The Sign of the Four', the second Holmes novel, presents the detective with one of his greatest challenges. The theft of the Agna treasure in India forms a catalyst for treachery, deceit and murder. With these two classic novels, 'A Study in Scarlet' and 'The Sign of the Four', you have the brilliant foundation of the Sherlock Holmes canon. Reading pleasure rarely comes any finer. AUTHOR: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a Scottish physician and writer. His works encompass a wide variety of genres, and it was his historical novels that he considered his finest work. However, posterity remembers him only as the creator of Sherlock Holmes. Each new generation discovers Holmes afresh, as the current TV and film adaptations demonstrate. Doyle created a character so well known that he exists in the borderline between fiction and reality.
