Is there a more enduring, legendary detective than Sherlock Holmes?
This quintessential collection includes many of the famous cases that
made the legendary Sherlock Holmes one of fiction's most popular
creations. Set against the foggy backdrop of London and the English
countryside, each story unravels an exciting new mystery, from mistaken
identity and ominous omens to counterfeit currency and jewellery theft.
Including 'A Scandal in Bohemia', 'The Five Orange Pips', 'The Adventure
of the Blue Carbuncle', 'The Speckled Band' and 'The Final Problem', the
collection follows Sherlock Holmes and John Watson on some of their most
enjoyable cases. First published in the Strand magazine in the early
1890s, these stories cemented Holmes, Watson and Moriarty as behemoths
of detective fiction - and this is where it all began.
This book is part of a range of highly designed fiction and non-fiction
classics. With bold, eye-catching graphic covers by Evi O Studio, this
collection aims to introduce a selection of the most celebrated works of
the last thousand years to a new audience. Featuring tales of adventure,
fiction from the 19th and 20th centuries, feminist writings, and
reflections on art, politics, philosophy and the origins of man, this is
a small, wide-reaching and essential collection.
Evi O Studio is led by Evi, a designer with over 10 years' industry
experience. She has worked as a designer at Penguin Books, and her work
has won a number of publishing and design awards, including Young
Designer of the Year and Book of the Year. Evi is also a well-known
artist, exhibiting her abstract paintings regularly in Sydney and
