Description
Here for the first time in one volume is every Sherlock Holmes story with every illustration from the pages of those published in 'The Strand'.
The dark and moody illustrations intensify the feeling and atmosphere of these amazing adventures, and to make the experience even more authentic, the Strand stories are reproduced in facsimile from the very pages of the original issues: over sixty fascinating tales, including the long stories The Hound of Baskervilles and The Valley of Fear.
There is one further difference from previous Sherlock Holmes collections: the stories are in chronological order, as they were written. The original collection His Last Bow was mostly stories under the general headings of Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes, written 1908-1913.
