'Am dining at Goldini's Restaurant, Gloucester Road, Kensington.
Please come at once and join me there. Bring with you a jemmy, a
dark lantern, a chisel, and a revolver - S. H.' The game's afoot
for the most famous amateur detective of all time in this
collection of eight of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic tales. 'The
Speckled Band', a Victorian melodrama in a country house, comes
complete with murderous villain, murdered heroine, and a very
unpleasant snake; 'Silver Blaze' tells of a missing race horse on
Dartmoor which turns out not to be missing at all, and a murder
that never was. In 'The Redheaded League' a pawnbroker answers an
advertisement for a red-headed man and bizarrely finds himself
copying out the Encyclopedia Britannica; in 'The Bruce Partington
Plans' Holmes is skulking in the London Underground with a dead
body when his patriotic services are called upon to find some
stolen state secrets in the run-up to World War I. Sidney Paget was
the original illustrator and helped to form the image of Sherlock
Holmes which exists to this day - in fact, it was he who created
the famous deer-stalker!
