The New annotated Sherlock Holmes / Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

A study in scarlet; The sign of four; The hound of the Baskervilles; The valley of fear

The publication of Leslie S. Klinger's brilliant new annotations of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 56 short stories in 2004 created a Holmes sensation. Here, in this eagerly awaited third volume, Klinger reassembles Doyle's four seminal novels in their original order, with over 1,000 new notes, 350 illustrations and period photographs, and tantalizing new Sherlockian theories. A Study in Scarlet (1887):a tale of murder and revenge that tells of Holmes and Dr. Watson's first meeting; The Sign of Four (1889):a cinematic tale of lost treasure; The Hound of the Baskervilles (1901):hailed as the greatest mystery novel of all time; and The Valley of Fear (1914):a fresh murder scene that leads Holmes to solve a long-forgotten mystery.
