Book Synopsis

Sherlock Holmes and the faithful Dr Watson are featured here in a series of twelve of their earliest cases. They include A Scandal in Bohemia where, uniquely, Holmes is outwitted - by a beautiful woman; The Red-Headed League, which begins with a bizarre newspaper advertisement for red-haired men; and The Adventure of the Speckled Band, in which the great detective traces a sinister whistling sound to its lethal source. First published month by month in The Strand magazine (1891-1892), the stories are illustrated by Sidney Paget, who created the image of Holmes in his signature deerstalker hat and Inverness cape.

ABOUT THE SERIES: Arcturus Essential Sherlock Holmes presents Arthur Conan Doyle''s best-loved Holmes stories with striking contemporary cover-designs. These unique paperback editions are wonderful collectibles which celebrate literature''s most iconic detective.
