How many times did Sherlock Holmes utter the phrase “Elementary, my dear Watson” in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s renowned stories? The answer is a surprising zero.
Get to know the real Sherlock Holmes with these eight volumes, filled with classic mystery tales. A professional physician, Arthur Conan Doyle initially conceived of Sherlock Holmes during writing sessions between patients. Sherlock’s signature deductive reasoning soon found an insatiable readership. And though Doyle tried desperately to “kill off” Holmes so that he could pursue other literary pursuits, public outcry demanded the detective return to life, which he did, after an eight-year hiatus, in The Adventure of the Empty House.
Featuring this story and more, these four novels and four volumes of short stories cover Sherlock Holmes’ exploits from Doyle’s first book, A Study in Scarlet, to the final chapters of literature’s most famous detective in His Last Bow. The works in this collection are essential for all Sherlock enthusiasts and literary students.
