This title in other formats:The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes: The Novels (a Study in Scarlet, the Sign of Four, the Hound of the Baskervilles, the Valley of Fear)by Leslie S. Klinger
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In this boxed set, Klinger, a leading world authority, reassembles Arthur Conan Doyle's 56 classic short stories in the order in which they appeared in late 19th- and early 20th-century book editions. Review:"Eminent attorney and Sherlockian Klinger completes the daunting mission he began with 2004's two volumes examining the original 56 short stories to feature the great detective with this robust third book containing the four Holmes novels. All the gifts that netted Klinger an Edgar Award for best critical/biographical work are again in evidence: clear definitions of obscure terms, pithy discussions of some of the issues that have puzzled and delighted Holmes fans for generations (where exactly was Watson wounded?) and lucid essays (which legend inspired The Hound of the Baskervilles?). Klinger manages the difficult feat of appealing both to those new to the world of Sherlockian scholarship and to those who can quote the stories like gospel. Ample use of illustrations, some from the novels' original appearances, adds to the enjoyment. A must-have for any serious mystery fan, this edition will stand as the benchmark for generations to come. Agent, Donald Maass. Author tour. (Nov.)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Synopsis:The publication of Leslie S. Klinger's brilliant new annotations of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 56 short stories in 2004 created a Holmes sensation. Here, in this eagerly awaited third volume, Klinger reassembles Doyle's four seminal novels in their original order, with over 1,000 new notes, 350 illustrations and period photographs, and tantalizing new Sherlockian theories. Inside, readers will find A Study in Scarlet (1887); a tale of murder and revenge that tells of Holmes and Dr. Watson's first meeting; The Sign of Four (1889); a cinematic tale of lost treasure; The Hound of the Baskervilles (1901); hailed as the greatest mystery novel of all time; and; The Valley of Fear (1914); a fresh murder scene that leads Holmes to solve a long-forgotten mystery. Whether as a stand-alone volume or as a companion to the boxed short stories, this classic work illuminates the timeless genius of Conan Doyle for an entirely new generation. Slipcased hardcover; two-color text. Synopsis:The four classic novels of Sherlock Holmes available in a new slipcased edition.
