Presented here are the third, fourth and fifth books of the Sherlock Holmes canon: the novel "The Hound of the Baskervilles" and short story collections "The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes" and "The Return of Sherlock Holmes," all written by Holmes' legendary creator, the great Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Collected here are some of the most beloved and revered of Doyle's Holmes stories. This volume includes the classic tale of the deadly and mysterious "hound" that haunts the centuries old Baskerville estate as well as the case of "Silver Blaze" (the missing champion race horse), "The Naval Treaty" (where Holmes must intervene to prevent an international diplomatic catastrophe), as well as the infamous story known as "The Final Problem," where Doyle introduces the character of the Napoleon of Crime - Professor Moriarty - and tells of his battle with Holmes at Reichenbach Falls, leading to the death of Moriarty and - in a plot twist that shocked and horrified his readers - the demise of Sherlock Holmes himself. Or....does it? For both longtime fans and newcomers alike, these stories are the must-read tales of the world's most famous and celebrated literary detective, the one-and-only Sherlock Holmes. These three books are presented here in their original and unabridged format.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born on 22 May 1859 in Edinburgh. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh and began to write stories while he was a student. Over his life he produced more than thirty books, 150 short stories, poems, plays and essays across a wide range of genres. His most famous creation is the detective Sherlock Holmes, who he introduced in his first novel A Study in Scarlet (1887).

This was followed in 1889 by an historical novel, Micah Clarke. In 1893 Conan Doyle published 'The Final Problem' in which he killed off his famous detective so that he could turn his attention more towards historical fiction. However Holmes was so popular that Conan Doyle eventually relented and published The Hound of the Baskervilles in 1901.

The events of the The Hound of the Baskervilles are set before those of 'The Final Problem' but in 1903 new Sherlock Holmes stories began to appear that revealed that the detective had not died after all. He was finally retired in 1927. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle died on 7 July 1930.
