The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes

More about the book

The collection features twelve short stories showcasing the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes, originally published in The Strand Magazine. Notably, "The Final Problem" was intended to conclude Holmes's adventures, prompting a strong reader response that led to future works. The first London edition excluded "The Adventure of the Cardboard Box" due to its themes of adultery, reflecting the differing cultural sensitivities of British and American audiences. This collection deepens the intrigue of Holmes's character and the complexities of his cases.
