This volume contains the collected stories of the Baker Street
Irregulars, a group of London street urchins who are hired by the great
detective Sherlock Holmes to help him with his investigations. Famed for
being able to hear all the street has to tell and described by Holmes as
"The Baker Street division of the detective police force", the boys are
led by their leader, Wiggins to collect vital information from the
Victorian underbelly of London. Contents include: 'A Study in Scarlet'
(1887), The Sign of Four' (1890), and 'The Crooked Man' (1893). A must
read for anyone who is a fan of Doyle's famous detective novels or the
BBC series 'The Irregulars'. Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 - 1930) was a
British writer, famous for his character 'Sherlock Holmes'. Whilst
studying medicine at the University of Edinburgh, Doyle began writing
short stories, and his first piece was published before he was 20. In
1887, Conan Doyle's first significant work, 'A Study in Scarlet',
appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual. It featured the first appearance
of the detective Sherlock Holmes. A prolific writer, Conan Doyle
continued to produce a range of fictional works over the following years
and is still being referenced today.
