The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice

8.5 x 12 inches/128 pages/Hardcover ISBN: 9780956864277 $12.99 US | $14.99 CAN Sherlock Holmes was introduced to the world in “A Study in Scarlet”, published in 1887, but it was the 12 stories, beginning with “A Scandal in Bohemia”, which first appeared in The Strand magazine in 1891 and was later published as The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, that established him as a unique and peerless detective-and Arthur Conan Doyle as one of the most popular writers of all time. All fictional detectives untangle seemingly intractable puzzles; all uncover dastardly villainy and bring perpetrators to book. None, though, does it with the style and attitude of Sherlock Holmes, whose forensic eye and remorseless logic are unrivalled.
