The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve stories of the crime-solving duo of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930). This collection is presented without particular order, and it was the first time Conan Doyle experimented with a short form of storytelling for Holmes, proving that the adventures of the famous detective and his inseparable companion retain their mystery and wonder even in this more concise way. This collection helped cement the fame of Sherlock Holmes as a literary character, providing an easier way for new readers to jump into new stories and adventures.
