Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes is the most famous detective in all of literature. First introduced in 1887, the brilliant and eccentric consulting detective of 221B Baker Street and his loyal companion Dr. Watson appeared across four novels and fifty-six short stories, captivating readers with their feats of deduction. This Limited Editions Club set gathers the short stories in a definitive text edited by Edgar W. Smith, the leading figure of the Baker Street Irregulars, and reunites the canonical illustrations of Sidney Paget, who first visualized Holmes for The Strand Magazine, with those of Frederic Dorr Steele, who defined the detective’s image for American readers.
