Since his first appearance in Beeton's Christmas Annual in 1887, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes has been one of the most beloved fictional characters ever created. Now, in two volumes, this new Bantam edition presents all 56 short stories and four novels featuring Conan Doyle's classic hero--a truly complete collection of Sherlock Holmes's adventures in crime now available in paperback! Volume II begins with The Hound Of The Baskervilles, a haunting novel of murder on eerie Grimpen Moor, which has rightly earned its reputation as the finest murder mystery ever written. The Valley Of Fear matches Holmes against his archenemy, the master of imaginative crime, Professor Moriarty. In addition, the loyal Dr. Watson has faithfully recorded Holmes's feats of extraordinary detection in such famous cases as the thrilling "Adventure of the Red Circle," Holmes's tragic and fortunately premature farewell in "The Final Problem," and the 12 baffling adventures from The Casebook Of Sherlock Holmes. Conan Doyle's incomparable tales bring to life a Victorian England of horse-drawn cabs, fogs, and the famous lodgings at 221B Baker Street, where for more than forty years Sherlock Holmes earned his undisputed reputation as the greatest fictional detective of all time.

저자소개
저자 : Doyle, Arthur Conan "런던 할레 가의 안과의사. 명탐정 홈즈의 창조자. 대영제국의 애국자. 영혼불멸을 주장한 심령주의자. 도일은 소년 시절 읽은 에드거 앨런 포의 뒤팽 탐정을 가슴에 두고 있다가, 그의 스승 조셉 벨 박사를 모델로 탐정 셜록 홈즈를 창조했다. 첫 장편 '주홍색 연구' 는 그다지 좋은 평판을 받지 못했지만 '보헤미아의 스캔들' 이후 폭발적인 인기를 얻어 추리작가로 성공했다. 탐정의 대명사인 셜록 홈즈는 세계에서 가장 유명하고 가장 위대한 탐정이다. 그러나 도일은 자신의 작품 중 최대의 업적은 심령현상의 진실과 사자(死者)와의 교신을 증명하는 책이라 믿고 여기에 인생 최후의 11년을 바쳤다. 도일은 자신이 중요하다고 생각하는 작품에서 홈즈가 자신과 독자의 관심을 빼앗아 가지 않을까 우려해, 어느 시점에서 홈즈를 죽였는데 여론에 밀려 나중에 그를 살릴 수밖에 없었다. 만년에는 '세계심령학회' 회장을 지내는 등 심령연구에 정열을 쏟고 강연 여행을 다녔다. 셜록 홈즈 시리즈 외에 '화이트 컴퍼니', ' 마이카 클락', '잃어버린 세계', '회상과 모험(자서전)' 등의 작품이 있다.
