A BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATED NOVEL OF SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE'S FIRST
NOVEL FEATURING SHERLOCK HOLMES! ???????London, 1878. Poor Dr
Watson returns from India completely penniless and on the verge of
despair when he meets Sherlock Holmes, a whimsical guy who also
happens to be looking for a roommate. The pair move into 221 Baker
Street when one of Scotland Yard's top sleuths enlists the talented
Detective Holmes to help solve a dark murder case. Together, Watson
and Holmes will lead the investigation and cement a partnership
that will last for years to come. Structured in two parts, with the
murder investigation in the first half, and a clever
tale-within-a-tale flashback in the second part, Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle transports us from a Victorian London atmosphere to the
frontiers of Utah and Nevada in the 1860s; a true global adventure.
First published in 1887, author Arthur Conan Doyle released this
first novel introducing the world to the brilliant Sherlock Holmes.
The character became immensely popular, going on to star in four
novels and 56 short stories before breaking out into nearly every
other medium known, from stage and screen to video games. The
Guiness Book of World Records lists Holmes as the most portrayed
literary human character in film and television history. This brand
new edition of the first Sherlock Holmes novel is filled with 80
beautiful illustrations by artist Vincent Mallie, capturing the
joyful style of an animated feature as if created by renowned
director Hayao Miyazaki whose early career includes writing and
directing the popular anime series SHERLOCK HOUND in the 1980s.
