The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle


The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle is the first collection of short stories featuring the famous consulting detective character Sherlock Holmes. The stories are narrated by Holmes friend Doctor Watson and are presented as case histories that showcase Holmes’ extraordinary powers of observation and deduction. The stories followed the publication of the first two Holmes novels A Study In Scarlet and The Sign of Four and first appeared in the Strand Magazine between July 1891 and June 1892. They became so popular that twelve stories were collected in book form and published in both England and the United States in October 1892. It includes the Holmes classics The Red-Headed League, A Scandal In Bohemia, and The Adventure of the Speckled Band. These and nine others are narrated here by Ruth Golding.
