Sherlock Holmes: Classic Stories (Barnes & Noble Collectible Editions) e-bog

In glancing over my notes of the seventy odd cases in which I have during the last eight years studied at the methods of my friend Sherlock Holmes, I find many tragic, some comic, a large number merely strange, but none commonplace. So writes Dr. Watson, sidekick and partner-in-crimesolving to the great detective, Sherlock Holmes, in one of the ten classic tales of mystery and detection collected in this volume. Included are several stories that Holmes's creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, himself selected as the intrepid pair's greatest adventures, among them ';A Scandal in Bohemia,' ';The Speckled Band,' ';The Red-Headed League,' and ';The Final Problem,' in which Doyle famously killed off his creation. The book also includes the complete short novel ';The Hound of the Baskervilles.' Sherlock Holmes: Classic Stories is one of Barnes &Nobles Collectible Editionsclassics. Each volume featuresauthoritative texts by the worlds greatest authors in an exquisitely designed foil-stamped binding, with distinctive colored edging and a silk-ribbon bookmark. Decorative, durable, and collectible, these books offer hours of pleasure to readers young and old and are an indispensable cornerstone for any home library.
