The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

“It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.” In this collection of twelve short stories, consulting detective Sherlock Holmes unravels the most complicated cases of his career. From a scandal involving the King of Bohemia, to the attempted murder of a bride-to-be, Holmes battles social injustice in a world defined by the privilege of wealth. Told from the point of view of his trusted friend John Watson, each tale is another entry in the casebook of the world’s most famous private investigator. Published as a novel in 1892, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes were a huge success on both sides of the Atlantic. Arthur Conan Doyle named four from this collection as his favourite Holmes stories, with The Adventure of the Speckled Band taking the top spot.
