The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes : Illustrated Abridged Children Classic

Sherlock Holmes reads a room the way other people read a sentence, and Dr Watson writes down everything the rest of us would miss. This illustrated abridged edition gathers cases including The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter, then The Adventure of the Yellow Face, then The Adventure of the Crooked Man, all shortened for younger readers but left with their reasoning intact. Each case lays out its evidence before Holmes explains it, which gives a child room to guess first and check afterwards, and the Victorian artwork fixes the setting without a page of description. Key elements of the set: • Several complete Holmes cases collected in one shortened volume • The Greek Interpreter, the Crooked Man and the Yellow Face among them • Illustrated pages of Victorian London running through the stories • A structure that rewards a reader who tries to solve it first Written for children of around nine and above with an appetite for puzzles, and a steady library choice for detective fiction.
