About this book

The 12 short stories featured in this volume were the catalyst for the first literary fandom, the success of The Strand Magazine, and Arthur Conan Doyle's lifelong career as the writer of the Sherlock Holmes adventures.

Enter the smoky rooms of 221B Baker Street and immerse yourself in the intriguing lives of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. This volume features tales including 'The Adventure of the Speckled Band' and 'The Red-Headed League', which Arthur Conan Doyle named his favourite Holmes stories. Each of these twelve mysteries highlights the famous detective's remarkable skill and methods, narrated by Watson.

The stories featured in this volume include:
    - A Scandal in Bohemia
    - The Red-Headed League
    - A Case of Identity
    - The Boscombe Valley Mystery
    - The Five Orange Pips
    - The Man with the Twisted Lip

First published in The Strand Magazine magazine between July 1891 and June 1892, this edition includes the stories' original illustrations by Sidney Paget. A specially commissioned introduction also features in this volume, alongside an article by Arthur Conan Doyle and an essay on the history of detective fiction by S.S. Van Dine.
