The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle and Illustrated by Sophia Martineck from Hachette Book Group. Award-winning
artist Sophia Martineck takes readers on a journey to 221B Baker St.
and the compelling stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes,
through her luscious imagery. The stories take on a whole new meaning when
accompanied by Martineck's mystical, colorful interpretations.
Venture back in time to Victorian London to join
literature's greatest detective team the brilliant Sherlock Holmes and his
devoted assistant, Dr. Watson as they investigate a dozen of their best-known
cases. Originally published in 1892, this is the first and best collection of
stories about the legendary sleuth. It's also the least expensive edition
available.
Featured tales include several of the author's personal favorites:
"A Scandal in Bohemia" in which a king is blackmailed by a former
lover and Holmes matches wits with the only woman to attract his open
admiration. The book also includes A Case of Identity, The Five Orange Pipes,
The Red-Headed League and more.
My Opinion: If you like Sherlock Holmes you will
enjoy this book with interesting illustrations and the same great story you
know and love.
