Book Description
Since his first appearance in Beeton’s Christmas Annual in 1887, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes has been one of the most beloved fictional characters ever created. Now, in two paperback volumes, Bantam presents all fifty-six short stories and four novels featuring Conan Doyle’s classic hero--a truly complete collection of Sherlock Holmes’s adventures in crime! Volume I includes the early novel A Study in Scarlet, which introduced the eccentric genius of Sherlock Holmes to the world. This baffling murder mystery, with the cryptic word Rache written in blood, first brought Holmes together with Dr. John Watson. Next, The Sign of Four presents Holmes’s famous “seven percent solution” and the strange puzzle of Mary Morstan in the quintessential locked-room mystery. Also included are Holmes’s feats of extraordinary detection in such famous cases as the chilling “ The Adventure of the Speckled Band,” the baffling riddle of “The Musgrave Ritual,” and the ingeniously plotted “The Five Orange Pips,” tales that bring to life a Victorian England of horse-drawn cabs, fogs, and the famous lodgings at 221B Baker Street, where Sherlock Holmes earned his undisputed reputation as the greatest fictional detective of all time.

Book Description
Sherlock Holmes is truly a 'Man for All seasons', his image has been worked and re-worked for over a century now, and the Holmes of 1887 is not the Holmes of Today. In his multi-volume collection, we will show how different illustrators have visualised Holmes and the other characters who appeared in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's works. Later volumes will celebrate Holmes in non-Canon stories as illustrators and authors put Holmes in other stories, but more of that later. This volume is not going to be very diverse, it is true to say that one person dominates. While it is true that there are illustrations by Charles Altamont Doyle, David Henry Friston, James Grieg and Walter Stanley Paget as well as all those images that appeared in the Bristol Observer, the majority of this book is going to be filled by one person, namely Sidney Paget. Just as nine tenths of an iceberg lies under the water, This book is 52/59's Sidney Paget, so if like me, you are an admirer of his work, you are in for a treat as every Sidney Paget Sherlock Holmes Image is here. If you don't like his work, skip this book and wait for later volumes, - You have been warned, but for many Sidney Paget's drawings of Holmes have the atmosphere of the period. The Fog filled labyrinth of London, the desolation of Dartmoor, and perhaps his most famous illustration as Holmes and Moriarty fight to the death at the top of the Reichenbach Falls. The contents of this book may have moved during transit, so care must be taken when opening this book. What is to be found within? - Four images by David Henry Friston for Beeton's Christmas Annual where Sherlock Holmes is seen for the first time with magnifying glass and long sideburns in the story 'A Study in Scarlet'. - We have images from two stories that appeared in 'The Bristol Observer', namely, 'The Sign of Four' then strangely later they did 'A Study in Scarlet'. - We also have James Greig and his two single drawings for 'A Study in Scarlet' in 1895 and then again 1896. - Six illustrations by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's father Charles Altamont Doyle for the 1888 'A Study in Scarlet' and finally - Four images by Sidney's younger Brother Walter Paget of 'The adventure of the dying Detective' in the Strand Magazine 1913. After that it's back to back Sidney, starting with 'A scandal in Bohemia' and ending with 'The adventure of the Second Stain.' WARNING: Parts of this book contain large amounts of Sidney Paget, if you are a sufferer of Pagetitus or a Pagetphobic, please do not buy this book. If you are a Pagetphile however, you may safety indulge yourself.

Book Description
"Picking up the trail with the incredibly influential films of Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, Volume II goes on to explore the antiheroic Sherlock Holmes films of the 1970s, and then the somewhat rocky journey of Holmes into the medium of television (actors Alan Wheatley, Douglas Wilmer, and Peter Cushing all declared their respective TV series as the worst experience of their professional careers). Television finally found its "definitive" Holmes in Jeremy Brett's portrayal for Granada Television, and then the BBC's "Sherlock" had flashed brilliantly across the cultural sky before crashing and burning in spectacular fashion. Still, despite its ignominious end, Benedict Cumberbatch's version of Sherlock Holmes quite literally changed the face of Sherlockian fandom overnight, as studious middle-aged white men now found themselves sharing uneasy ground with a younger, more diverse, and more female audience. Now a full-fledged transmedia phenomenon, Sherlock Holmes can be any gender, ethnicity, or species, and is celebrated in fan fiction and fanvids, as well as conventions that are far more inclusive than Sherlock Holmes societies of the past. Vincent Starrett's poetic notion that Sherlock Holmes is a character "who never lived and so can never die" has never been more true, and the Digital Age promises any number of new versions of Sherlock Holmes to come." --Page [4] of cover.
