The Complete Sherlock Holmes, Volume I
Arthur Conan Doyle
Eccentric, arrogant, and ingenious, Sherlock Holmes remains the world's most popular and influential fictional detective. In four novels and fifty-six short stories, Holmes with his trusted friend Dr. Watson, steps from his comfortable quarters at 221B Baker Street into the swirling fog of London. Combining detailed observation with brilliant deduction, Holmes rescues the innocent, confounds the guilty, and solves the most perplexing puzzles crime has to offer.
Volume I of The Complete Sherlock Holmes begins with Holmes's first appearance, A Study in Scarlet, a chilling murder novel complete with bloodstained walls and cryptic clues. This is followed by the baffling The Sign of Four, which introduces Holmes's cocaine problem and Watson's future wife. Volume I also includes the story collections The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, and concludes with the tale "The Final Problem," in which Conan Doyle, tired of writing Holmes stories, kills off his famed sleuth.

The Five Orange Pips (The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, #5)
Arthur Conan Doyle
Sherlock Holmes, the world's 'only unofficial consulting detective', was first introduced to readers in "A Study in Scarlet" introduced by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1887. It was with the publication of "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes," however, that the master sleuth grew tremendously in popularity, later to become one of the most beloved literary characters of all time.
In "The Five Orange Pips," one of the short stories in "Adventures ..," John Openshaw visits Baker Street to consult Sherlock Holmes as to the mysterious deaths of both his uncle and father upon the arrival of letters containing only five dried orange pips and an envelope mark 'K.K.K.'. The young gentleman further relates that he too has received a similar envelope with instructions to surrender some papers. Holmes quickly deduces that his client faces imminent danger from a secret society in America.
The short stories comprising "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" have been amusingly illustrated using only Lego® brand minifigures and bricks. The illustrations recreate, through custom designed Lego models, the composition of the black and white drawings by Sidney Paget that accompanied the original publication of these adventures appearing in "The Strand Magazine" from July 1891 to June 1892. Paget's iconic illustrations are largely responsible for the popular image of Sherlock Holmes, including his deerstalker cap and Inverness cape, details never mentioned in the writings of Conan Doyle. This uniquely illustrated collection, which features some of the most famous and enjoyable cases investigated by Sherlock Holmes and his devoted friend and biographer Dr. John H. Watson, including "A Scandal in Bohemia" and "The Red-Headed League," is sure to delight Lego enthusiasts, as well as fans of the Great Detective, both old and new.

The Complete Sherlock Holmes comprises four novels and fifty-six short stories revolving around the world’s most popular and influential fictional detective—the eccentric, arrogant, and ingenious Sherlock Holmes. He and his trusted friend, Dr. Watson, step from Holmes’s comfortable quarters at 221b Baker Street into the swirling fog of Victorian London to combine detailed observation and vast knowledge with brilliant deduction. Inevitably, Holmes rescues the innocent, confounds the guilty, and solves the most perplexing puzzles known to literature.
Volume II of The Complete Sherlock Holmes begins with The Return of Sherlock Holmes. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, tired of writing about Holmes, had killed him off at the end of “The Final Problem,” the last tale in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (found in Volume I of The Complete Sherlock Holmes). Public demand for new Holmes stories was so great, however, that Conan Doyle eventually resurrected him. The first story in The Return, “The Adventure of the Empty House,” features Conan Doyle’s infamously inventive explanation of how Holmes escaped what seemed like certain death.
This volume also includes two other collections of Holmes stories, His Last Bow and The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes; Conan Doyle’s final full-length Holmes novel, The Valley of Fear; a pair of parodies, “The Field Bazaar” and “How Watson Learned the Trick”; and two essays about the “private life” of the beloved sleuth.

A Study In Scarlet and Other Stories
Arthur Conan Doyle
A Study in Scarlet was written in 1886 and is the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, who would become the most famous detective duo in popular fiction. The story, and its main characters, attracted little public interest when it first appeared. Only 11 complete copies of the magazine in which the story first appeared, Beeton s Christmas Annual are known to exist now and they have considerable value. Although Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle wrote 56 short stories that featured Sherlock Holmes, A Study in Scarlet is one of only four full-length novels. A Study in Scarlet was the first work of detective fiction to incorporate the magnifying glass as an investigative tool. The character of Sherlock Holmes has been portrayed by over 100 different actors in theatre, on radio, in film, on audiobook and on television.

The Lost World and The Poison Belt
Arthur Conan Doyle
A heart-stopping adventure tale featuring a brilliant scientist—as insufferably pompous as Doyle's most famous character—and his unlikely trio, and its apocalyptic sequel.
In 1912, the creator of Sherlock Holmes introduced his readers to yet another genius adventurer, Professor Challenger, who in his very first outing would journey to South America in search of... an isolated plateau crawling with iguanodons and ape-men! A smash hit, Doyle's proto-science fiction thriller would be adapted twice by Hollywood filmmakers, and it would go on to influence everything from Jurassic Park to the TV show Land of the Lost. Its 1913 sequel, The Poison Belt, finds Challenger and his dino-hunting comrades trapped in an oxygenated chamber as the entire planet passes through a lethal ether cloud.

A collection of 19 of Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes short stories.
The Lost World & Other Stories
Arthur Conan Doyle
These lively, varied and thought-provoking science-fiction stories (from the era of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells) are linked by their imposing central character, the pugnaciously adventurous and outrageous Professor Challenger. The Lost World (forebear of Jurassic Park) vividly depicts a perilous region in which the explorers confront creatures from the prehistoric era. 'The Poison Belt' presents an eerie doomsday scenario, while ‘The Disintegration Machine’ satirically comments on scientific cynicism.
In ‘When the World Screamed’, the planet responds violently to an experimental incursion. The strangest item is 'The Land of Mist', which seeks to reconcile science with spiritualism. This memorable collection provides imaginative entertainment, entrancing escapism and bold provocation.

A lifelong fan of Doyle's detective fiction, Fry has narrated the complete works of Sherlock Holmes - four novels and five collections of short stories.

Heroes with remarkable gifts are as in vogue now as they have been since they first appeared, perhaps even more in vogue. But although the very first one was launched in serial published form just like his masked and body-suited successors, it was not in DC or Marvel comic books that he made his appearance; rather it was in the sedate and respectable pages of Mrs Beeton's Christmas Annual in the mid-Victorian year 1887."

The Adventure of the Dying Detective
Arthur Conan Doyle
This is not the first time that death and Sherlock Holmes have come close. Do you recall 'The Final Problem' and the story of Reichenbach Falls? In 'The Adventure of the Dying Detective' our favourite genius has caught some strange and deadly disease among the sailors and the filth of the London docks.
Holmes' mind may have been affected and he spews insults at Dr. Watson the like of which his readers have never heard before. But there's one glimmer - can Watson locate Mr. Culverton Smith, the world's leading expert on the disease who is presently in London?

The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge - a Sherlock Holmes Short Story
Arthur Conan Doyle
The story was originally published as 'A Reminiscence of Sherlock Holmes.'
Holmes and Watson are visited by a very conservative gentleman asking for guidance. He's Mr. John Scott Eccles. He'd spent the previous night at Wisteria Lodge, Aloysius Garcia's rented house, but when he woke in the morning, he found that Garcia and his servants had all disappeared. He was alone in an empty house.
Eccles met Garcia, a Spaniard, through an acquaintance; they seemed to form an unlikely friendship right away. When Eccles got to Wisteria Lodge, he could tell though that something was amiss. Garcia seemed distracted and the whole mood was quite sombre. And then one of Garcia's servants handed him a note -- and the man's mood became even darker.
Not more than a few minutes behind Eccles, the Surrey police arrive at 221B Baker Street to report the suspicious death of Garcia and caution him about his potential arrest.
Die Abenteuer des Sherlock Holmes (German Edition)
Arthur Conan Doyle
Sherlock Holmes ist eine vom britischen Schriftsteller Sir Arthur Conan Doyle geschaffene Kunstfigur, die in seinen im späten 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert spielenden Romanen als Detektiv tätig ist. Besondere Bedeutung für die Kriminalliteratur erlangten Doyles Werke durch die beschriebene forensische Arbeitsmethode, die auf detailgenauer Beobachtung und nüchterner Schlussfolgerung beruht. Holmes gilt bis heute weithin als Symbol des erfolgreichen, analytisch-rationalen Denkers und als Stereotyp des Privatdetektivs. Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) war ein britischer Arzt und Schriftsteller. Inhalt: • Skandalgeschichte im Fürstentum O… • Der Bund der Rothaarigen • Ein Fall geschickter Täuschung • Der Mord im Tale von Bascombe • Fünf Apfelsinenkerne • Der Mann mit der Schramme • Der Daumen des Ingenieurs • Die Geschichte des blauen Karfunkels • Die verschwundene Braut • Die Geschichte des Beryll-Kopfschmuckes • Das Landhaus in Hamshire
Eine Studie in Scharlachrot
Arthur Conan Doyle
Eine Studie in Scharlachrot erzählt von der ersten Begegnung zwischen Sherlock Holmes und Dr. Watson sowie ihrem ersten gemeinsamen Fall. Auf der Suche nach einer Unterkunft in London trifft Dr. Watson den »Beratenden Detektiv« Sherlock Holmes, und sie beziehen gemeinsam eine Wohnung. Holmes' exzentrische Art und seine geheimnisvolle Tätigkeit wecken Watsons Neugier.

Arthur Conan Doyle
Deciphering cryptic messages, investigating mysterious events and solving crimes that have defeated Scotland Yard, Holmes is at his best in this collection of 15 stories, including The Red-Headed League and The Speckled Band.
The Hound of the Baskervilles, with "the Adventure of the Speckled Band"
Arthur Conan Doyle
The Hound of the Baskervilles (1901–02) is Arthur Conan Doyle’s most celebrated Sherlock Holmes adventure. At the end of the yew tree path of his ancestral home, Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead. Close by are the footprints of a gigantic hound. Called to investigate, Holmes seems to face a supernatural foe. In the tense narration of the detective’s efforts to solve the crime, Conan Doyle meditates on late Victorian and early twentieth-century ideas of ancestry and atavism, the possible biological determination of criminals, the stability of the British landed classes, and the place of the supernatural.
Historical documents included with this fully-annotated Broadview edition help contextualize the novel’s debates and reveal its cultural and literary significance as a supreme instance of early detective fiction. Also included is the Conan Doyle short story The Adventure of the Speckled Band.

Here's where it all began, 'A Study in Scarlet.' Meet Sherlock Holmes, one of the world's leading consulting detectives - fictional of course!
Tutto Sherlock Holmes
Arthur Conan Doyle
• Uno studio in rosso • Il segno dei Quattro • Le avventure di Sherlock Holmes • Le memorie di Sherlock Holmes • Il mastino dei Baskerville • Il ritorno di Sherlock Holmes • La Valle della Paura • L’ultimo saluto • Il taccuino di Sherlock Holmes
Il 1887 rappresenta una data storica nella letteratura poliziesca.
Nasce in quell’anno il più celebre detective di tutti i tempi: Sherlock Holmes. Anche se Uno studio in rosso, il primo romanzo della serie, passò praticamente inosservato, qualche anno dopo però Il segno dei Quattro fu accolto con un favore di pubblico tale da rimanere celebre nella storia letteraria. Per quarant’anni Doyle continuò a inventare storie sul celebre detective e sul suo inseparabile aiutante, amico e voce narrante, il dottor Watson, creando un modello destinato a esercitare un’influenza decisiva su tutta la letteratura poliziesca. Da Uno studio in rosso a Il segno dei Quattro, dal ben noto Mastino dei Baskerville a La Valle della Paura, a Le avventure di Sherlock Holmes, l’investigatore si confronta con un caleidoscopio di casi sempre più complessi ricorrendo spesso al suo stratagemma preferito: travestirsi, da prete, da marinaio o da mendicante. Nell’ultima avventura delle Memorie di Sherlock Holmes, Doyle, ormai stanco del personaggio, ne decreterà la morte facendolo precipitare in un abisso. Sarà poi costretto dalle proteste del pubblico a farlo resuscitare: eccolo in gran forma nel Ritorno di Sherlock Holmes. L’ultimo saluto raccoglie quattro straordinarie storie dell’investigatore, ancora agile e lucido nonostante gli anni. Nel Taccuino di Sherlock Holmes, l’insuperabile detective si aggira tra maggiordomi, tappeti persiani e preziosi servizi da tè: ritrova tesori, chiarisce misteri, salva onori minacciati da gravissime onte.

Sherlock Holmes: The Complete works
Arthur Conan Doyle
Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, who first appeared in publication in 1887. He is the creation of Scottish born author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A brilliant London-based detective, Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess, and is renowned for his skillful use of deductive reasoning (somewhat mistakenly - see inductive reasoning) and astute observation to solve difficult cases. He is arguably the most famous fictional detective ever created, and is one of the best known and most universally recognizable literary characters in any genre.
Conan Doyle wrote four novels and fifty-six short stories that featured Holmes. All but four stories were narrated by Holmes' friend and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson, two having been narrated by Holmes himself, and two others written in the third person. The first two stories, short novels, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual for 1887 and Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in 1890. The character grew tremendously in popularity with the beginning of the first series of short stories in The Strand Magazine in 1891; further series of short stories and two serialized novels appeared almost right up to Conan Doyle's death in 1930. The stories cover a period from around 1878 up to 1903, with a final case in 1914.
This collection contains all the 60 official and the 6 unofficial Sherlock Holmes stories - in total 66 works (the biggest and greatest Sherlock Holmes collection in the eBook world).
