  • The Return of Sherlock Holmes

    Arthur Conan Doyle, Christopher Pittard et al.BOOKReturn of Sherlock Holmes2023

    Arthur Conan Doyle famously killed off Sherlock Holmes in 1893, in the short story ‘The Final Problem’, but was tempted to bring him back to life ten years later, in the thirteen tales that comprise The Return of Sherlock Holmes . While the outcry that supposedly followed Holmes' death was mostly apocryphal (the claim that readers wore black armbands in mourning has been frequently cited but never actually proved), by 1893 there was a substantial…

    ‘There was a rumour, too, that he was a devil-worshipper, or something of that sort, and also that he had the evil eye...’ Arthur Conan Doyle was the greatest genre writer Britain has ever produced. Throughout a long writing career, he drew on his own medical background, his travels, and his increasing interest in spiritualism and the occult to produce a spectacular array of Gothic Tales.

  • Sherlock Holmes. Selected Stories

    Arthur Conan Doyle, Barry McCreaBOOKSherlock Holmes - Selected Stories2014

    ‘Detection is, or ought to be, an exact science.’ For more than a century the Holmes stories have held a strange, almost inexplicable grip on the popular imagination. They are intimately associated with late Victorian and Edwardian society, yet curiously timeless in their appeal. The characters of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, together with their housekeeper Mrs Hudson and their address at 221B Baker Street are as familiar today as when they mad…
