Description: “Crime is common. Logic is rare,” Sherlock Holmes states in The Adventures of Copper Breeches. Stories of crime have been told since the time of Greek tragedies, and though heroes come and go, not a year goes by in modern times without new stories in which Sherlock Holmes appears. Through this lifelike detective and sidekick Dr. Watson, Sir Arthur offers many answers to the changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution in Victorian England as he comes up with stunningly original mysteries for his characters to solve. Of course, The Final Problem puts an end to that…or does it?Some of the other reader’s favorites included in this collection are:“The Adventures of the Beryl Coronet”“The Five Orange Pips”“The Musgrave Ritual”“The Red-headed League”
