About this ebook
Few fictional characters have proved as popular as Sherlock Holmes. By retelling Arthur Conan Doyle's beloved stories in film adaptations, each generation re-creates Baker Street's most famous detective in its own image. To date, Holmes has been played on screen by Basil Rathbone, Jeremy Brett, Benedict Cumberbatch, Robert Downey, Jr., and many others. This book contains the twelve stories identified by Conan Doyle himself as being the quintessential Holmes adventures.
