The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and the Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and the Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes | Arthur Conan Doyle
10 posts | 14 read | 4 to read
This collection includes many of the famous cases - and great strokes of brilliance - that made the legendary Sherlock Holmes one of fiction's most popular creations. With his devoted amanuensis, Dr Watson, Holmes emerges from his smoke filled rooms in Baker Street to grapple with the forces of treachery, intrigue and evil in such cases as 'The Speckled Band', in which a terrified woman begs their help in solving the mystery surrounding her sister's death, or 'A Scandal in Bohemia', which portrays a European king blackmailed by his mistress. In 'Silver Blaze' the pair investigate the disappearance of a racehorse and the violent murder of its trainer, while in 'The Final Problem' Holmes at last comes face to face with his nemesis, the diabolical Professor Moriarty - 'the Napoleon of crime'.

I came across this passage from The Naval Treaty tonight that happens to contain a few words that work for #StarTrekSummerMay so I thought I‘d share #AMatterofHonor, #Conspiracy & #TheEnemy

Megabooks Wow! This is perfect! 👍🏻👍🏻🖖🏻 6y

Thank you @Dianeham for this wonderful box of goodies! "Force majeure" is over ? I've been coveting the Margaret Millar collected editions and the Holmes collection is just lovely ? Plus the coffee, bookmarks, Cape May cards, and the New York public library tote. I am also thrilled to learn you have a poetry book—I can't wait to read it. Thank you so much for all of this! ❤️

Thanks for organising the #conandoyleswap, @Beckykearns !

GatheringBooks that sherlock holmes book looks deliciously hefty! 6y
Dianeham @batsy i am so relieved that you finally got it! I was excited when I saw you wanted to read Millar. I love her. The plots are a little dated but she is a fav of mine. 6y
Cathythoughts Wow this is all so lovely... happy days ❤️ (edited) 6y
