A Scandal in Bohemia

1892 Sherlock Holmes short story by Arthur Conan Doyle, the first short story and third overall work in the Sherlock Holmes canon. First printed in a magazine, it was later included in the 1892 compilation The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
The first (and, as of 5th August 2018, only) Sherlock Holmes story I read.

I was staying in Aberfeldy, Scotland in the summer of 2018 with my York university friends, and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes was one of the many books on the shelves of our cottage (the only one I had any interest in reading).
I read this, the first story in the collection, over the course of a couple of days.
It was fun to read my first original Sherlock Holmes story. I guess the various adaptations have capture the spirit accurately, because it felt familiar. As usual it held the additional interest for me of being written so long ago that it contains language and attitudes that offer a small mental challenge to connect with.
