$17.00 Inc GST
Arthur Conan Doyle published his last tale of Sherlock Holmes in 1927. That same year, The Strand Magazine-the periodical in which most of the Sherlock Holmes stories first appeared-sponsored a competition for its readers to choose the twelve best stories featuring The Great Detective. Doyle himself participated, and in his essay “How I Made My List,” published in the magazine’s March issue, he gave the reasons for his twelve selections.
The Illustrated Adventures of Sherlock Holmes features all twelve stories that Conan Doyle officially anointed the creme de la creme of the Sherlock Holmes canon:
– The Musgrave Ritual
– The Speckled Band
– The Five Orange Pips
– The Reigate Squire
– A Scandal in Bohemia
– The Red-Headed League
– The Final Problem
– The Empty House
– The Devil’s Foot
– The Dancing Men
– The Priory School
– The Second Stain
All twelve stories are illustrated in full color by some of the best-known artists to interpret the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, among them Sidney Paget, Fredric Dorr Steele, James McNeill Whistler, Louise Rayner, and others. This volume brings vividly to life the exploits of Baker Street’s most famous resident.
The Illustrated Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his famous detective. These are the first of the Sherlock Holmes short stories, originally published as single stories in the Strand Magazine from July 1891 to June 1892.
