The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes

by Arthur Conan Doyle, W. W. Robson (Editor)

Overview

The last twelve stories written about Holmes and Watson, these tales reflect the disillusioned world of the 1920s in which they were written. Some of the sharpest turns of wit in English literature are contrasted by dark images of psychological tragedy, suicide, and incest in a collection of tales that have haunted generations of readers.
