1 About this book
The Complete Sherlock Holmes gathers everything Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about his consulting detective between 1887 and 1927. It holds the four novels, A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Valley of Fear, and all fifty-six short stories, first collected in five books from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes to The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes. Most are narrated by Holmes's friend and biographer, Doctor John Watson, and many begin in the rooms the two share at 221B Baker Street in London. Holmes takes cases from all kinds of clients, Scotland Yard among them, and solves them through observation, forensic science and logical reasoning.

2 What to expect
All four novels and fifty-six short stories about Sherlock Holmes, written over forty years and mostly narrated by his friend Watson. Nearly every case stands alone: a client brings a puzzle to Baker Street, and Holmes solves it by observation and reasoning. The settings are Victorian and Edwardian, and at over a thousand pages this is a collection to dip into, one case at a time.
Good for readers who want: classic detective stories, Victorian London, and a big collection to dip into.
