Sherlock Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess and is renowned for his skilful use of deductive reasoning, astute observation, and forensic skills to solve difficult cases.

This collection contains some of the most exciting and famous of the adventures of the intrepid detective, such as the "Silver Blaze", and its mysterious dog in the night, "The Greek Interpreter", which stars Holmes' intense and formidable brother Mycroft, and many more.
