A Study in Scarlet: Illustrated

by Arthur Conan Doyle, George Hutchinson (Illustrator)

Overview

The first novel of the legendary detective of fiction, Sherlock Holmes, is here presented for readers in a handsome new digital edition. It includes a variety of original illustrations from the 1888 edition of the novel, published by Ward, Lock and Co., to delight the Sherlock Holmes enthusiast as well as the new reader.

From the Publisher's Preface to the 1888 edition:

"This book contains a story of thrilling interest, in which the expectation of the reader, and his faculties for conjecture and deduction are kept in employment from first to last. The "Study in Scarlet," and the unravelling of the apparently unfathomable mystery by the cool shrewdness of Mr. Sherlock Holmes, yield nothing in point of sustained interest and gratified expectation to the best stories of the school ..."
