Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Collection by Arthur Conan Doyle
Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, who first appeared in publication in 1887. He is the creation of Scottish born author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A brilliant London-based detective, Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess, and is renowned for his skillful use of deductive reasoning (somewhat mistakenly - see inductive reasoning) and astute observation to solve difficult cases. He is arguably the most famous fictional detective ever created, and is one of the best known and most universally recognizable literary characters in any genre. Conan Doyle wrote four novels and fifty-six short stories that featured Holmes. All but four stories were narrated by Holmes' friend and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson, two having been narrated by Holmes himself, and two others written in the third person. The first two stories, short novels, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual for 1887 and Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in 1890. The character grew tremendously in popularity with the beginning of the first series of short stories in The Strand Magazine in 1891; further series of short stories and two serialized novels appeared almost right up to Conan Doyle's death in 1930. The stories cover a period from around 1878 up to 1903, with a final case in 1914. This collection contains all the 60 official and the 6 unofficial Sherlock Holmes stories - in total 66 works (the biggest and greatest Sherlock Holmes collection in the eBook world). Read more
I have to confess that I probably wouldn't have bought this collection at regular price. Not that it isn't worth the money, it's just that I seldom read this genre. In any event, for some reason the sale made the purchase appeal to me and I am so happy that it did! I read the collection as sort of a "filler" in between the more ... serious? ... works I usually read, and it has been a hoot! A truly enjoyable diversion!! I love that Kindle allows for quick and easy word lookups because I used that feature on several words that were either very British or very obscure. Additionally, there were word usages that made me smile simply because we no longer say things that way. But my real pleasure came from just reading (in many cases, re-reading from some long-ago point in my childhood) the stories. No deep thought required here... just enjoy the ride, or try to help solve the cases, but either way... experience the step back in time and the vivid mental images that Doyle paints through Dr. Watson as he narrates the quirky and mysteriously focused mind of Sherlock Holmes.
