Sherlock Holmes: The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Complete Set 9)

'Mr Sherlock Holmes, the well-known private detective, was the victim of a murderous assault this morning which has left him in a precarious position'. Dr Watson stops dead in his tracks when he reads of the attempt on his friend's life. The forces of nature turn against man, love breeds hatred and cowardice, mothers appear to attack their own children, and Sherlock Holmes, the one man who can redress the balance, seemingly lies at death's door ... When an assassination attempt is made on the great detective's life it seems that no one can escape the death and dread which blights Britain...

fear that Mr Sherlock Holmes may become like one of those popular tenors who,
having outlived their time, are still tempted to make repeated farewell bows to
their indulgent audiences. This must cease and he must go the way of all flesh,
material or imaginary. One likes to think that there is some fantastic limbo for the
children of imagination, some strange, impossible place where the beaux of
Fielding may still make love to the belles of Richardson, where Scott's heroes still
may strut, ...

The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes

These are the last twelve stories Conan Doyle wrote about Holmes and Watson. They reflect the disillusioned world of the 1920s and also include some of the wittiest passages in the series.

The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Holmes Series)

This early work by Arthur Conan Doyle was originally published in 1927 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography as part of our Sherlock Holmes series. Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1859. It was between 1876 and 1881, while studying medicine at the University of Edinburgh, that he began writing short stories, and his first piece was published in Chambers's Edinburgh Journal before he was 20. In 1887, Conan Doyle's first significant work, A Study in Scarlet, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual. It featured the first appearance of detective Sherlock Holmes, the protagonist who was to eventually make Conan Doyle's reputation. A prolific writer, Conan Doyle continued to produce a range of fictional works over the following years. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
