A must-have collection of stories featuring the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes, one of the most famous and beloved detectives in fiction.

In the riveting tales collected in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the sleuth of 221B Baker Street and his steadfast companion, Watson, set out on the dark, foggy streets of late Victorian London to solve England's darkest mysteries and unearth its most closely guarded secrets. In these stories, the beloved detective uses razor-sharp logic and brilliant analytical reasoning to rescue a king from blackmail, find a missing fiancé, infiltrate an opium den, and solve many other mysteries.

        Gr. 6-12. Moser's illustrations for the Books of Wonder series have included his scary gothic pictures for Poe's stories . Here, in keeping with the more cerebral, daytime world of Sherlock Holmes, the watercolors for each of the 12 adventures are mostly portraits of gentlemen, full-faced and clear. Holmes is in control, alert, formidably intelligent, a listener. Dr. Watson is open and decent, no secrets to hide. Perhaps most interesting is the portrait of author Doyle, compulsively neat in his army uniform, moustache waxed in place, blue eyes burning.
