Sherlock Holmes is not only the most famous character in crime fiction, but arguably the most famous character in all fiction.

Watson, proves himself to be not only the quintessential detective but also the most engaging and entertaining company any reader could ask for. This beautiful new edition contains a new foreword by Ruth Rendell

Even if James Boswell hadn't written the The Life of Johnson, he would be famous for this memoir of eighteenth-century London life. Boswell arrived in the great metropolis from his native Edinburgh in 1762, and he kept a daily journal of his nine-month sojourn. Bawdy, witty, and brimming with fascinating details, the accounts range from his illicit encounters with prostitutes to his momentous meeting with Samuel Johnson. Boswell's London diary disappeared for 150 years, finally turning up in the 1920s as the literary find of the twentieth century. Unlike his other journals, it escaped nineteenth-century bowdlerization, allowing the author's voice to emerge with strikingly modern candor. Boswell writes frankly of his struggles with depression and his sexual obsessions. His painstaking records of the lively repartee of his mentor's literary circle formed the backbone of The Life of Johnson, and just as that book proved him a worthy biographer, so this one shows him an equally captivating subject.

This book aims to preserve and enhance classic literature through professional layout, formatting, and type-setting. It corrects typographical errors while maintaining authenticity by preserving some original imperfections. The effort reflects a commitment to the historical and cultural significance of literary works. Happy reading!

The plays are presented as in the First Folio of 1623, with the addition of "Pericles" and variations which are agreed by the best Shakespearean critics. For the most part it is Delius's text that is followed.
