Synopsis

Already an icon when Arthur Conan Doyle was still writing the original tales, Sherlock Holmes continues to inspire literary, film, and television adaptations. Anchored by the novel The Hound of the Baskervilles, here's an anthology of six of Doyle's best stories of the world's greatest detective, among them "A Scandal in Bohemia," "The Red-Headed League," "The Five Orange Pips," and the author's own favorite in the canon, "The Speckled Band." This handsome edition has a sewn binding, a ribbon bookmark, and silver page edges, plus all of the stories include Sidney Paget's dramatic black and white illustrations, which accompanied them when they originally appeared in The Strand.
