A stunning edition boasting the early tales of Sherlock Holmes, including a full-length novel and more short stories.

Sherlock Holmes: Volume 2 continues the exciting adventures of the world's most famous pipe-smoking detective, Sherlock Holmes, featuring the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

From his home, 221B Baker Street in London, the legendary Sherlock Holmes (accompanied by his loyal companion and chronicler, Dr. Watson) employs his mastery of deductive reasoning and expert sleuthing to solve an arraying of complex and harrowing cases, baffling the police and becoming internationally renowned for his remarkable observations and even more eccentric habits.

Complete and unabridged, this elegantly designed edition features a new introduction by Doug Elliott.

The Knickerbocker Classics bring together the works of classic authors from around the world in stunning gift editions to be collected and enjoyed.

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a Scottish physician and prolific writer of fiction and nonfiction. He is most well known for his four novels and fifty-six short stories featuring the legendary and eccentric detective Sherlock Holmes. Holmes was modeled after Doyle's colleague, physician and surgeon Dr. Joseph Bell, who had been known for his acute powers of deductive observation. In his real life, Doyle worked in the name of justice too. He personally investigated two cases of innocent men who had been wrongfully imprisoned and helped to get them exonerated for their "crimes."

Douglas Elliott has been writing about the life and works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle for over twenty-five years. He is the author of The Curious Incident of the Missing Link: Arthur Conan Doyle and Piltdown Man, and co-editor of The Annotated White Company.

I'm a Canadian-Australian living in Sydney. I started my writing career with historical pieces for magazines but changed my focus a few years ago to concentrate on book-length projects.

In that vein, I have co-edited a couple of books and have written two historical novels set in Edwardian England and featuring the London investigator Augustus Parker.

Of course, real life tends to intrude just as you are making plans to the contrary, so I've had the unexpected opportunity as well to write some short pieces relating to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his legendary creation, Sherlock Holmes.

I'm currently hunched over my keyboard working on the next Augustus Parker novel.

Beautiful set of Sherlock Holmes books
I bought all four volumes of the Knickerbocker Sherlock Holmes books. I loved reading Sherlock Holmes as a kid and as an adult, and am glad to have the complete collection in this beautiful package. This volume contains The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes and the novel The Hound of the Baskervilles (my second favorite Sherlock Holmes book, after Study in Scarlet). After reading the short stories/novels, I would recommend watching the Sherlock Holmes 1984 TV series by Granada Television starring Jeremy Brett (the most magnificent Sherlock Holmes portrayal, even better than the amazing Benedict Cumberbatch); all of them are on YouTube.

The stories are obviously classics, so I'll stick to reviewing this presentation of them. I was looking for a complete set of the Sherlock Holmes stories, but all I could find were huge tomes that were so big and heavy that they would be awkward to read, so I was really pleased when I came across the Knickerbocker Classics set of volumes and I bought all 4. They look attractive, with an appropriately vintage vibe to the cover decoration, and they are small and light enough that you could carry them around with you and read them without get sore arms! I wasn't sure what a flexiform cover was till they arrived, but it seems to mean a bit sturdier than paperback, but not quite as sturdy as a hardback.
