Sherlock Holmes: Classic Stories (Barnes & Noble Collectible Editions)

By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

In glancing over my notes of the seventy odd cases in which I have during the last eight years studied at the methods of my friend Sherlock Holmes, I find many tragic, some comic, a large number merely strange, but none commonplace.
 
So writes Dr. Watson, sidekick and partner-in-crimesolving to the great detective, Sherlock Holmes, in one of the ten classic tales of mystery and detection collected in this volume. Included are several stories that Holmes’s creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, himself selected as the intrepid pair’s greatest adventures, among them “A Scandal in Bohemia,” “The Speckled Band,” “The Red-Headed League,” and “The Final Problem,” in which Doyle famously "killed off his" creation. The book also includes the complete short novel “The Hound of the Baskervilles.”

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1859. Before starting his writing career, Doyle attended medical school, where he met the professor who would later inspire his most famous creation, Sherlock Holmes. A Study in Scarlet was Doyle's first novel; he would go on to write more than sixty stories featuring Sherlock Holmes. He died in England in 1930.
