Publisher Description

Arthur Conan Doyle never wasted time in getting his stories moving. His plots are always direct and refreshingly lucid, and the narrative has a velocity that sweeps you along right to the end. This was no doubt a large part of his immense worldwide success. Not surprisingly, each time he tried to end the series, his fans would howl in protest. But, as he says in the preface to his last collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, all good things must come to an end. And so it is with this series, as we have now arrived at the end of the Sherlock Holmes tales, Conan Doyle's most magnificent creation.

This last volume contains one novel, The Valley of Fear, and two collections of short stories: His Last Bow and The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes.

"I loved these stories as a child, indeed Sherlock Holmes may well be my first childhood hero. I haven't read them for years, and it would be interesting to do so now, with the benefit of maturity. Perhaps I may find new things in them. They are certainly a great introduction to the late Victorian era, with echoes of the far-flung empire and the intrigues of pre-War Europe setting the wider scene for the crimes of Londons dark and busy streets."

    " Awesome - you can really find out what all those obscure 19th century gadgets did, see Holmes's disguises, see the difference between a trap and a hansom cab. "

    " From 3rd grade to college, my Dad and I read every single one of the Sherlock Holmes stories. I ADORE Sherlock Holmes. It's more than the mystery. It's the way Holmes waxes poetic at times and philosophic at others. It's the unique and close relationship of Holmes and Watson. It's an extraordinary man with genius talent. The cases of Sherlock Holmes are to be read and cherished over and over for generations. "

    " A definite must have for any fan of Sherlock Holmes. Not only does it contain 37 original short stories (as well as the complete novel "Hound of the Baskervilles") as printed in the Strand Magazine between 1891 and 1905, but it also reprints the illustrations of Sidney Paget which first breathed the visual reality into these wonderful works.

    " I discovered Sherlock Holmes when I was in primary school - and I loved the stories! I still do. When I saw this book at a second-hand bookshop in Bendigo, I had to buy it. It is a lovely collection in facsimile with the original illustrations that appeared in the Strand Magazine in early 1900. "

    " Amazing! I love mysteries and I thoroughly enjoyed trying to figure out the mystery before the end. It was perfect for my current responsibilities. I would read a short story one night and then start another one when I had the time (without worrying I would forget some of the details!). "

About Arthur Conan Doyle

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was born of Irish parentage in Scotland. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, but he also had a passion for storytelling. His first book introduced that prototype of the modern detective in fiction, Sherlock Holmes. Despite the immense popularity Holmes gained throughout the world, Doyle was not overly fond of the character and preferred to write other stories. Eventually popular demand won out and he continued to satisfy readers with the adventures of the legendary sleuth. He also wrote historical romances and made two essays into pseudoscientific fantasy: The Lost World and The Poison Belt.
