A new edition of the pocket guide to one of English literature's best loved and finest creations, Sherlock Holmes. Holmes was the brainchild of Portsmouth GP Arthur Conan Doyle. A writer of historical romance, Doyle became unhappy that the detective's enormous success eclipsed his other work, and killed him off. But, faced with an enormous backlash from the public, he had no choice but to bring him back from the grave to face more puzzling mysteries. Holmes is an iconic fictional creature, and has been immortalised in countless film, TV and radio productions.
Sherlock Holmes is bored. But a fascinating new case is just around the corner. The attractive Mary Morstan arrives at 221B Baker Street with a strange story to tell. Her father vanished ten years ago: four years later she receives six beautiful pearls, one each year. She has been invited to meet the sender of these pearls and asks Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson for their help. The case involves a mysterious map, hidden treasure and a wooden-legged man, enough to intrigue even Sherlock Holmes. But it’s more than just a mystery for loyal Doctor Watson: will he find love with the lovely Miss Morstan?
Follow Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes solving the problem of the goose and hat in "The Blue Carbuncle"; finding a missing fianc? in " A Case of Identity"; and discovering the identity of a mysterious person in "The Yellow Face".
