About the book

In this first collection of Holmes stories, the beloved detective uses his uncanny skills to rescue a king from blackmail, to capture an ingenious bank robber, and to save an innocent son accused of patricide. This special collector's edition contains Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's first twelve stories and includes such famous cases as "The Red-headed League," in which Holmes uncovers a well-concealed, devilishly clever criminal plot; "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle," in which Holmes must trap a jewel thief--with astonishing results; "The Adventure of the Speckled Band," in which Holmes and Watson find themselves dealing with treachery, violence, and deadly snakes; and nine more equally thrilling and puzzling mysteries. This Special Collector's Edition of the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes features the complete text of the original collection of Doyle's short stories and is an ideal introduction to the fascinating world of this mesmerizing detective. It also includes an Introduction by the Basil Rathbone Society describing the genesis of the film character immortalized by Basil Rathbone. CONTENTS I. A Scandal in Bohemia II.

Viele kleine einzelne unabhängige Fälle vom berühmtesten Detektiv! Durch die Kürze der einzelnen Geschichten sind diese jetzt nicht super spannend aber doch unterhaltsam und faszinierend . Perfekt wenn man keine großen Geschichten mag!
