The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Collins Classics)

Twelve early Holmes cases sit together in this collection, each one a self-contained problem settled by observation rather than pursuit. Arthur Conan Doyle's Victorian London and its outskirts supply clients, disguises, small clues and unreliable accounts, while Watson's narration keeps each case to a readable length. The Collins Classics edition gathers the twelve stories in a single paperback, which makes it a practical introduction to the canon. What comes with this edition: • The first twelve Sherlock Holmes short stories in one volume • Self-contained cases that can be read in any free half hour • Victorian settings, professions and social detail throughout • A common starting point for readers new to the Holmes stories Recommended for mystery readers, students building English reading practice and collectors, offered in the Collins Classics edition by Boipoka.
