When Dr. Watson meets Sherlock Holmes for the first time the &;consulting detective&; immediately demonstrates his inimitable powers of observation, deducing that the doctor has returned to convalesce from a wound received during military service in Afghanistan. The two young men agree to share lodgings at 221B Baker Street, and it is not long before Holmes&;s powers are put to a more practical use; Inspector Gregson of Scotland Yard asks for help in solving what he describes as &;a puzzler&;. A man has been discovered dead, surrounded by clots and splashes of blood &; but with no wounds upon him. Published in 1887, A Study in Scarlet marked the start of one of the most iconic fictional partnerships in literature. The Baker Street Classics Sherlock Holmes collection is a retro-inspired full set of Arthur Conan Doyle&;s wonderful tales of the inimitable &;consulting detective&; at work. Featuring original cover illustrations from editions of the 1920s, this collection will adorn any booklover&;s shelf and transport the reader back in time to Holmes&;s bustling Victorian London; the misty moors of Dartmoor; the dizzying heights of Reichenbach; and the cozy living room of 221b Baker Street.
