The fifteen Sherlock Holmes stories reprinted in this volume are generally held to be the most significant, innovative, and influential tales featuring Arthur Conan Doyle's archetypal detective. Drawn principally from the first three Holmes collections, these selections are each followed by a concise commentary on its relation to Doyle, other Holmes tales, and the genre of detective fiction.
