"As Watson reported in the preface to His Last Bow, a collection of eight stories published in 1917, Holmes may have been retired, but the accounts of plenty of his cases remained to delight his fans. The seven new stories that Watson added to "His Last Bow" as part of the collection... had appeared in the Strand sporadically from 1908 through 1917" (Leslie S. Klinger).
