About the Book
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is perhaps the greatest collection of detective short stories ever written. It was these tales penned by Arthur Conan Doyle that first introducted the magical and eccentric character of Sherlock Holmes to the readers of The Strand Magazine. In his consulting room at 221B Baker Street, the master sleuth receives a stream of clients all presenting him with baffling and bizarre puzzles for him to solve. There is, for example, the man frightened for his life because of the arrival of an envelope containing orange pips; the terrified woman aware that her life is in danger and who cannot explain the strange whistling sounds she hears in the night the woman whose fiance disappeared on his way to their wedding... and more. Of course, Holmes, with trusty Watson by his side, is equal to these and the other challenges in this splendid collection.
