Overview

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's final collection of stories featuring Sherlock Holmes: published forty years after Holmes' first appearance in print! All twelve of the stories were published in the Strand Magazine between 1921 and 1927. Doyle himself thought that "The Adventure of the Lion's Mane" and "The Adventure of the Illustrious Client", both in this collection, were among the best stories he had ever written about Holmes.

About the Author

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle KStJ DL (22 May 1859 – 7 July 1930) was a British writer and physician. He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are milestones in the field of crime fiction.

Doyle was a prolific writer; other than Holmes stories, his works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger, and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement" (1884), helped to popularise the mystery of the Mary Celeste.
