In this first collection of Holmes stories, the beloved detective
uses his uncanny skills to rescue a king from blackmail, to capture
an ingenious bank robber, and to save an innocent son accused of
patricide. This special collector's edition contains Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle's first twelve stories and includes such famous cases
as "The Red-headed League," in which Holmes uncovers a
well-concealed, devilishly clever criminal plot; "The Adventure of
the Blue Carbuncle," in which Holmes must trap a jewel thief--with
astonishing results; "The Adventure of the Speckled Band," in which
Holmes and Watson find themselves dealing with treachery, violence,
and deadly snakes; and nine more equally thrilling and puzzling
mysteries. This Special Collector's Edition of the Adventures of
Sherlock Holmes features the complete text of the original
collection of Doyle's short stories and is an ideal introduction to
the fascinating world of this mesmerizing detective. It also
includes an Introduction by the Basil Rathbone Society describing
the genesis of the film character immortalized by Basil Rathbone.
