The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes – even the most uninformed person, upon hearing this name, will think of a great detective. But how many of us have actually read the stories?

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is much famed. Yet you really must read them to take in the full awe of Holmes’ logical reasoning. When Holmes solves a crime by a spot on the knee of someone’s pants or some such seemingly unimportant detail, all we can do is watch in wonder and keep reading.

I can’t provide a summary of this book because it is a collection of short stories. Each one is a work of genius, and quite interesting to read. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like a classic, unequaled read.
