Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are the greatest detective team in literature, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s portrayal of their friendship, and the thrills of the chase, are a mainstay of popular culture. Set against the foggy, mysterious backdrops of London and the English countryside, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes features the first twelve stories of the infamous detective Sherlock Holmes ever published. Here are some of his most famous cases, including “A Scandal in Bohemia,” “The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle,” and “The Red-headed League.”
The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes continues the adventures of the intrepid detective and his comrade and boasts eleven immortal tales, such as the “The Greek Interpreter,” starring Holmes’s even more formidable brother, Mycroft; and “The Final Problem,” the detective’s thrilling confrontation with arch-criminal Moriarty.
Clever and entertaining, the stories of Sherlock Holmes are timeless.
