The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Sherlock Holmes 3

It was with this series of adventures that Sherlock Holmes completely won over readers' tastes, establishing the foundations of the modern detective novel, with scientific rigor, while righting the wrongs of Victorian England.

Dr. Watson recounts several investigations, some humorous, others criminal, that Sherlock Holmes conducted in the years following their meeting. Sometimes to extricate a crowned head from a sticky situation, other times to find a missing husband, Sherlock tirelessly pursues the explanation of the simple yet complex cases brought to him by his clients from all over London.

In this collection of short stories published in the Strand Magazine between 1891 and 1892, you will find 12 Sherlock Holmes adventures:

• a scandal in Bohemia
• the league of red-haired men
• a case of identity
• the mystery of Boscombe Valley
• the five orange seeds
• the man with the crooked lip
• the blue carbuncle
• the speckled band
• the engineer's thumb
• the aristocratic bachelor
• the emerald diadem
• purple beeches

The third part of the Sherlock Holmes canon, consisting of 9 volumes, some of these short stories were among Conan Doyle's favorites.
