The Return of Sherlock Holmes

Beschreibung

Arthur Conan Doyle famously killed off Sherlock Holmes in 1893. While the outcry that supposedly followed was mostly apocryphal, Doyle was tempted to return to Holmes in 1901-2 with The Hound of the Baskervilles, the success of which led to a more permanent revival. The thirteen tales that followed make up this volume.
