Sherlock Holmes Short Stories

This collection gathers Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes short stories into a single illustrated hardback, part of Flame Tree Publishing's Gothic Fantasy series. A foreword by Jon Lellenberg, historian of the Baker Street Irregulars and longtime member of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London, situates the stories in their historical and publishing context.

The stories themselves need no introduction: Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson working through cases that hinge on a scuffed shoe, a missing hat, or a single strand of tobacco ash, brought to bear on blackmail, theft, and murder across Victorian London and beyond. The volume favors breadth over a single narrative arc, making it suited to reading in any order or dipping into individual favorites.

As a collector's anthology rather than a new work, it adds illustrations and scholarly framing to stories otherwise available in Doyle's original collections.
