This is the perfect collection for anyone who loves a good detective story. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Illustrated by David MackintoshFrom his Baker Street apartment, Sherlock Holmes wields his powers of deduction in pursuit of justice and truth, venturing out into foggy Victorian London accompanied by his faithful sidekick Dr Watson.

This classic collection of Holmes tales includes many of the detective's most-loved exploits: Holmes is confronted by a venomous snake in 'The Adventure of the Speckled Band', mystified by a missing thumb in 'The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb' and beguiled by a beautiful opera singer in 'A Scandal in Bohemia', never once losing his famous cool. The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes - Illustrated by David MackintoshWith Sherlock Holmes's reputation as the scourge of the criminal underworld preceding him, the ingenious detective, with the aid of Dr Watson, is confronted in these stories by some of his most fiendishly difficult cases yet.

The collection culminates in 'The Final Problem', in which the evil Professor Moriarty is plotting the detective's downfall.

Soon Holmes and Watson are led across Europe in a deadly pursuit of their devilish quarry, until the final showdown in Switzerland, at the precipitous Reichenbach Falls... The Return of Sherlock HolmesLondon's criminal underworld has risen once again, and a dangerous individual with an air gun is prowling the streets.

The capital is in greater need of its protector Sherlock Holmes than ever.

Three years have passed since Holmes and the evil mastermind Professor Moriarty fell, locked in combat, into the Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland, and when Doctor Watson collides with an odd-looking old book collector in the street, little does he know that the world's greatest detective is about to return...
