The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes

By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The writer of several hundred stories and novels, English author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle began his writing career in 1879. While he introduced the world to his most famous character, Sherlock Holmes, in the 1887 novel “A Study in Scarlet”, it would not be until the 1891 publication of “A Scandal in Bohemia” that his illustrative career in writing would truly begin. With this Sherlock Holmes short story, the imagination of the reading public was instantly captured and would propel Doyle forever into the annals of English literature. Of the fifty-six Sherlock Holmes stories that Doyle would end up writing the final twelve were collected in a volume entitled “The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes”. First published in 1927, “The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes” collects together stories that were originally published in “Strand Magazine” between October of 1921 and March 1927. While some critics have labeled these additions as lesser entries in the canon of Sherlock Holmes, others have viewed them as evidence of a writer struggling to find a new narrative style. Regardless of any critic’s opinion, no collection of Sherlock Holmes stories would be complete without these final contributions by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This edition includes a biographical afterword.
