Editorial Reviews

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes not only features the great detective's earliest known cases, it also introduces his older and smarter brother Mycroft and brings us face to face with that Napoleon of Crime, the chilling Professor Moriarty. This is, in short, the volume through which Conan Doyle dramatically enlarges the Holmesian universe—and just one reason why any serious Sherlockian will want a copy of these stories in this handsome Edinburgh edition, superbly introduced and crisply annotated by Jonathan Cranfield.

Michael Dirda

Sherlock Holmes is the very foundation stone of the edifice that is crime fiction.”

Times (London)

He is unique in simultaneously bringing down the curtain on an era and raising one on another, ushering in a genre of writing that... has never been surpassed. His own life, as footballer... eye surgeon, champion of injustice and investigator into the paranormal, is the stuff of legend. Personally, I would walk a mile in tight boots to read his letters to the milkman—Stephen Fry, The Arthur Conan Doyle Collection
