The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
Arthur Conan Doyle,Arthur Conan Doyle
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is perhaps the greatest collection of detective short stories ever written. It was these tales penned by Arthur Conan Doyle that first introduced the magical and eccentric character of Sherlock Holmes to the readers of The Strand Magazine. In his consulting room at 221B Baker Street, the master sleuth receives a stream of clients all presenting him with baffling and bizarre puzzles for him to solve. There is, for example, the man frightened for his life because of the arrival of an envelope containing orange pips; the terrified woman aware that her life is in danger and who cannot explain the strange whistling sounds she hears in the night; the woman whose fiance disappeared on his way to their wedding and more. Of course, Holmes, with trusty Watson by his side, is equal to these and the other challenges in this splendid collection.

“I cannot agree with those who rank modesty among the virtues. To the logician all things should be seen exactly as they are, and to underestimate one's self is as much a departure from truth as to exaggerate one's own powers.”

“It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important.”
