Four Sherlock Holmes cases appear here in shortened form, prepared so that younger readers can follow the deductions without losing the suspense.
Retold in simplified language and supported by colour illustrations, the volume gathers the Creeping Man case, the Illustrious Client, the Mazarin Stone and the Lion's Mane. As part of the Junior Classics series, it is built for children gaining confidence with longer English texts while meeting Arthur Conan Doyle's detective for the first time.
Notes for parents and teachers:
• Four Holmes investigations adapted for young readers in one volume
• Simplified sentences supported by colour illustrations
• Part of the numbered Junior Classics series
• Encourages observation and step-by-step reasoning
A sensible pick for school libraries, for parents introducing detective fiction, and for children ready to move beyond picture books, available at Boipoka.
