For a period of 40 years, Sherlock Holmes enjoyed a brilliant detective career, solving mystery after mystery with his "elemen- tary" logic. It all began with A Study in Scarlet, first published in 1887, in which Arthur Conan Doyle introduced the celebrated pair of Holmes and Dr. Watson.
Devotees of the super-sleuth and his companion will surely want to read the very first case Holmes solved. And for those who have yet to delve into the Sherlock Holmes canon, what better place to start than at the beginning?
This facsimile copy of the original edition includes 44 illustra- tions by George Hutchinson and James Greig.
