  • A Timeless Piece

  • I can imagine that, in 1880s, readers were standing in a long line outside the "Strand" magazine publisher to get the latest copies of newly printed "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes." After reading it, it seems that I could feel the excitement and the stories became talk of the town.

The edition contains two collections of short stories - The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes documents the earliest cases of the greatest fictional detective of all time, while The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes brings us to what Doyle intended to be Holmes' last appearance, in The Adventure of the Final Problem, as he plunges into the depths of the Reichenbach Falls with his arch-enemy, Professor Moriarty.

This edition contains the original illustrations from Strand Magazine drawn by Sidney Paget.
