For more than a century, the Sherlock Holmes adventures have thrilled readers. This volume collects seven of his most challenging cases, including 'A Scandal in Bohemia', 'The Red-Headed League', 'The Speckled Band', The Five Orange Pips', 'The Blue Carbuncle' and 'The Beryl Coronet'. It also features the novel, The Hound of the Baskervflles. The stories feature art by Sidney Paget, who illustrated the Sherlock Holmes stories that appeared originally in The Strand.

Conan Doyle trained as a doctor, but later divided his time between medicine and writing. His popular Sherlock Holmes stories, narrated by Dr Watson, were so addictive that his fans protested at the detectives 'death' in 1893 and Doyle had to resurrect him.
