Author(s): Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Fiction

This volume, authorized by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's estate, contains all 4 full-length novels and all 56 short stories featuring Sherlock Holmes. At over a thousand pages, the weighty tome is a perfect gift and ideal companion for a long stay on a desert island (or a leisurely trip through the English countryside). As the reader wades past the tense introductions of A Study in Scarlet and moves towards such classic tales as The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Adventure of the Speckled Band, and The Final Problem, conclusions about Holmes's veiled past and his quirky relationship with his "Boswell", Watson, are sure to be drawn.
