Inhoudsopgave:
What would the genre of detective fiction be without the inimitable Sherlock Holmes? One can only speculate as to its state given the absence of its most famous character. âThe Adventures of Sherlock Holmesâ was the first anthology of Sherlock Holmes stories and collected together the stories that were first serialized in âThe Strand Magazineâ between June 1891 and July 1892. The stories included in this reprint of that volume are as follows: âA Scandal in Bohemiaâ, âThe Red-Headed Leagueâ, âA Case of Identityâ, âThe Boscombe Valley Mysteryâ, âThe Five Orange Pipsâ, âThe Man with the Twisted Lipâ, âThe Adventure of the Blue Carbuncleâ, âThe Adventure of the Speckled Bandâ, âThe Adventure of the Engineerâs Thumbâ, âThe Adventure of the Noble Bachelorâ, âThe Adventure of the Beryl Coronetâ, and âThe Adventure of the Copper Beechesâ. This edition includes a biographical afterword. |
