Sherlock Holmes: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Complete Set 3)
Arthur Conan Doyle
‘I have heard, Mr. Holmes, that you can see deeply into the manifold wickedness of the human heart’. Scandal, treachery and crime are rife in Old London Town. A king blackmailed by his mistress, dark dealings in Opium dens, stolen jewels, a missing bride – these are cases so fiendishly complex that only the great Sherlock Holmes would dare to investigate. For he, and he alone, has the extraordinary faculty of perception and almost unhuman energy which could solve them …
Arthur Conan Doyle
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in 1859 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He was a doctor by trade; optician more specifically. It is rumoured that during his off periods of work he would think about and write his various stories. He is well known for several science fiction works, but of course his most recognizable works are the Sherlock Holmes mysteries. He died in 1930.He tried desperately to “kill off” Holmes so that he could pursue other genres of writing as well, and not just be known for the Holmes mysteries. However, after much public outcry, Holmes returned in “The Empty House” and in many other stories following, up to the “Case Book of Sherlock Holmes” collection.
