ABOUT THIS BOOK

Dive into the suspenseful world of Sherlock Holmes, the master detective the world has ever known
Before you know it, you will find yourself wandering in Holmes and Watson’s world; it would just take a few pages and you will be at 221B Baker Street. You will join the duo in cracking mysteries and gathering clues, ranging from bloodstains and footprints, to cigarette ash and wedding rings, arriving at unusual and surprising conclusions. A huge hit with readers of all ages, these characters do not need much introduction. Appearing in print for the first time in A Study in Scarlet in 1887, Holmes’s popularity became widespread with the first series of short stories in the Strand magazine in 1891.

AUTHOR OF THE BOOK

Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was born on 22 May 1859, in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Doyles were a prosperous Irish-Catholic family. In March 1886, Conan Doyle started writing the novel which catapulted him to fame. At first it was named A Tangled Skein and the two main characters were called Sheridan Hope and Ormond Sacker. Two years later, this novel was published in Beeton’s Christmas Annual, under the title ‘A Study in Scarlet’, which introduced us to the immortal Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. Arthur Conan Doyle died on 7 July 1930, surrounded by his family.
