To Sherlock Holmes she is always ’the woman’. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name . . .~The 1892 collection of Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle is a series telling of the exploits of that great investigative sleuth of the Victorian Age, Sherlock Holmes, recounted by his friend, colleague, and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson.In these adventures, Holmes mixes with royalty, encounters ’the woman’ who bested him, Irene Adler, detects scoundrels and occasionally dispenses his own form of justice. All against the background of a London that is partially hidden by the ever-present drift of yellow smog and nefarious vapours through which Holmes glides, wearing disguises to fit each unique occasion.~THE RED-HEADED LEAGUEISDISSOLVED . . .~Wild Arancini Classics is delighted to present this wonderful new edition of Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle.
