The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Short Stories
posted in Fiction |
Over 150 years have passed since Sir Arthur Conan Doyle introduced his inimitable sleuth, Sherlock Holmes, to the world and his popularity has never waned. This book contains all the 56 stories written about Sherlock Holmes, both before and after the creator’s attempt to dispatch him in print.
The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Short Stories contains the 56 short stories annotated by Leslie S. Klinger (a lawyer and a member of the Baker Street Irregulars and one of the foremost Holmes authorities in the world). Thousands of annotations covering each and every aspect of the story appear alongside each story. These annotations, pictures, photographs, and historical perspectives will enrich and enthrall you irrespective of whether you are reading it the first time or hundredth time.
The stunning layout design and typography, superior production (paper quality, binding, cover design, etc.) combined with the 700-plus illustrations, culled from The Strand Magazine, Harper’s Weekly, Collier’s Magazine, and other long-lost sources, which make this the most lavishly illustrated edition of the Holmes tales ever produced.
Beginners will benefit from Klinger’s essay, “The World of Sherlock Holmes,” and its insightful biographies of Holmes, Watson, and Conan Doyle. History lovers will revel in the wealth of Victorian literary and cultural details. Sherlockian fanatics will puzzle over tantalizing new theories.
A work for the ages, The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes promises to enrich the world of Sherlock Holmes for an entirely new generation of readers. If you are Sherlock Holmes fan—Sherlockian—then this book deserves a prominent place in your bookshelf.
