“There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact": THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES
Early printing of Arthur Conan Doyle's classic work starring literature's most famous detective. Octavo, original pictorial black and gilt-stamped light blue cloth, patterned endpapers, all edges gilt. In very good condition. With numerous in-text illustrations by Sidney Paget. A nice example.
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes contains the earliest short stories featuring the consulting detective Sherlock Holmes, which first appeared in twelve monthly issues of The Strand Magazine from July 1891 to June 1892. Collected in the same sequence, which is not supported by any fictional chronology, the only characters common to all twelve are Holmes and Dr. Watson and all are related in first-person narrative from Watson's point of view. Stories include A Scandal in Bohemia, The Red-Headed League, A Case of Identity, The Boscombe Valley Mystery, The Five Orange Pips, The Man with the Twisted Lip, The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle, The Adventure of the Speckled Band, The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb, The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor, The Adventure of Beryl Coronet, and The Adventure of the Copper Beeches.
