The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and the Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes’s enigmatic personality and startling deductive skills have made him fiction’s most popular detective. From his smoke-filled rooms in Baker Street, Holmes’s brooding figure emerges into the streets of Victorian London to grapple with the forces of treachery, intrigue and evil.

But without Holmes’s devoted amanuensis, Dr Watson, we should know nothing of the great man’s successes (or occasional failure). In this volume, Watson records some of Holmes’s greatest strokes of brilliance, including the delicate problem of ‘A Scandal in Bohemia’, the bizarre case of ‘The Red-Headed League’ and the deadly mystery of ‘The Speckled Band’. And the moment when Holmes comes face to face with his nemesis in ‘The Final Problem’.
