(Original, Unabridged Classic, Premium Hardbound Collector's Edition, Ideal for Gifting)
Arthur Conan Doyle
"Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts."
Twelve cases. Twelve opportunities to watch the most famous detective in world literature at the height of his powers. From the mystery of the red-headed man hired for an absurd copying task to the scandal that gives a king's secrets to a woman of irresistible intelligence, the stories collected in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes represent Arthur Conan Doyle's craft at its most perfectly tuned.
With a Goodreads rating of 4.14, readers consistently describe the collection as essential: stories that deliver the rigorous pleasure of watching an extraordinary mind dismantle what others have written off as impenetrable. Holmes's legendary methods — the observation, the deduction, the sudden illuminating leap — are demonstrated here with brilliant economy, and the friendship with Watson provides the warmth that makes genius bearable.
This premium Penguin Select Classics hardbound collector's edition presents the original, unabridged stories — a perfect gift for every admirer of detective fiction and classic literature.
