Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes (Arcturus Ornate Classics), Sir Aurthur Canan Doyle

This handsome hardback edition presents the first collection in Arthur Conan Doyle's classic Sherlock Holmes stories, featuring gold cover embossing and gilded page-edges. Sherlock Holmes and the faithful Dr Watson are featured here in a series of twelve of their earliest cases. They include A Scandal in Bohemia where Holmes is outwitted by an unexpected rival; The Red-Headed League, which begins with a bizarre newspaper advertisement for red-haired men; and The Adventure of the Speckled Band, in which the great detective traces a sinister whistling sound to its lethal source. First published month by month in The Strand magazine (1891-1892), the stories include 16 full-page illustrations by Sidney Paget, who created the image of Holmes in his signature deerstalker hat and Inverness cape.

This beautiful pocket-sized gift edition contains the classic, unabridged text, presented with a gold embossed cover design, ivory pages, beautifully designed endpapers and gold gilded page edges. Part of the Arcturus Ornate Classic Collection.
