THE MAN seemed to be honest. He ap- peared very level headed and sensible. But the account he gave to Sherlock Holmes was extraordinary.

Mr. Wilson seemed to have secured a lucrative job. The salary was very high, the hours were minimal, and the duties consisted only of recopying the encyclopedia. Not a typical job, he ad- mitted, but what was really unusual was that to qualify for the position, he had to have red hair.

Then one day, weeks later, Mr. Wil- son found his job had ended as myste- riously as it had begun. Something was amiss.

It was a challenge Sherlock Holmes could not resist. As he unravels the clues in the story of the red-headed man, Sherlock Holmes displays his ex- traordinary skills of perception. So come along as this Creative Short Story leads you down a trail of mystery and intrigue you will not soon forget.

Work Description

"The Adventure of the Red-Headed League" is one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It first appeared in The Strand Magazine in August 1891. Conan Doyle ranked "The Red-Headed League" second in his list of his twelve favorite Holmes stories. In this story, Holmes is presented with a perplexing mystery involving a league set up to aid and benefit men with especially vivid red hair who live in London. Is this a crime? Of course not, but even the brilliant Holmes needs 'three pipefulls' of meditation time to penetrate the nefarious plots hidden beneath this seemingly innocuous fraternal aid society. Listen and enjoy the beautiful way in which only the great Sherlock Holmes deals with the situation. (summary from Wikipedia and the reader)

Excerpts

I had called upon my friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, one day in the autumn of last year, and found him in deep conversation with a very stout, florid-faced, elderly gentleman, with fiery red hair.
