Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's great detective showcases his powers in this first collection of stories
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is perhaps the greatest collection of detective stories ever written.
Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition features an afterword by David Stuart Davies - a Fellow of the Royal Literary Fund and a Sherlock Holmes scholar.
From his residence at 221B Baker Street, Holmes solves a series of baffling and bizarre cases, including a man terrified by the arrival of an envelope containing orange pips and a woman whose fiancé disappeared on his way to their wedding. Each story showcases the great detective's inimitable and extraordinary deductive powers, recounted to us by his faithful friend and colleague, Dr Watson.
