Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes: Volume II

296 pages with a chronological appendix. Book is clean with a square, tight binding and bright, white pages. Covers have very minor edge wear that is very difficult to see in the scans. James Innes Watson, the great-great-grandson of Dr. John H. Watson has inherited all of the manuscripts of his forebear. These include stories, for whatever reason Watson never published. "The Murdered Professor" and "The Bank Vault" were withheld by Watson himself, "The Assassination Plot" because of its political nature. Conan Doyle advised that Holmes's tales should stay in Europe, and so "Holmes in America" was never published, the final tale "The Haunted Stable" was withheld with respect to Conan Doyle's spiritual beliefs. Now after more than a hundred years these "lost" tales are published. An Appendix is included of the chronology.
