A Scandal in Bohemia

"A Scandal in Bohemia" is the first short story featuring Sherlock Holmes, written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and published in The Strand Magazine in 1891. It marked the beginning of a long collaboration with illustrator Sidney Paget and is considered one of Doyle's most notable works. The story follows Holmes as he is drawn into a complex case involving the King of Bohemia and a potentially scandalous photograph. With its blend of royal intrigue and clever deduction, it set the tone for many of the detective's adventures to follow.
