Presented here are the first three books of the Sherlock Holmes canon: the novels "A Study in Scarlet" and "The Sign of the Four" and the first collection of short stories, "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes," all written by Holmes' legendary creator, the great Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. From the alkali plains of Utah to the battlefields of colonial India and back to the confines of 221B Baker Street in London, the stories in this collection are among the favorites of Sherlockians the world over.
In this volume, we are introduced to the world's greatest unofficial consulting detective - Sherlock Holmes - and his trusty companion and chronicler Doctor Watson who set off on various adventures; from the moment of their first meeting in "A Study in Scarlet" to the mystery of the Great Agra Treasure in "The Sign of the Four" as well as the first twelve short stories of the Holmes series, including "A Scandal in Bohemia," which features the infamous and enigmatic Irene Adler (or, as Holmes calls her, "THE woman").
For both longtime fans and newcomers alike, this is where it all began: the original three Sherlock Holmes books, all in one volume. They are presented here in their original and unabridged format.
