Synopsis

More than a century after Sherlock Holmes first appeared in A Study in Scarlet, these tales of detection remain central to the character’s enduring reputation. From 1891, beginning with The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Strand Magazine serialised Conan Doyle’s stories, pairing Holmes’s methodical reasoning with the steadfast companionship of Dr Watson.

The collection is illustrated by Sydney Paget, whose artwork helped define the visual identity of Holmes and his world, including the now-famous deerstalker hat. The result is a substantial volume that reflects the continuing appeal of Victorian-era crime and deduction for successive generations of readers.
