The Complete Stories of Sherlock Holmes

Step into the fog-shrouded streets of Victorian London with this stunning edition of The Complete Stories of Sherlock Holmes. Since 1887, when the ascetic, gaunt and enigmatic detective first appeared in A Study in Scarlet, readers have been captivated by Arthur Conan Doyle’s matchless tales of deduction. Here, you’ll find every adventure—from the pioneering Strand Magazine serializations to the final cases—featuring the incomparable sleuth and his doggedly loyal companion, Dr. Watson.

This collection preserves the remarkable illustrations by Sydney Paget, the artist who first gave us our enduring image of Holmes, complete with that famous deerstalker hat. Each story showcases the detective’s penetrating mind and ruthless logic as he unravels mysteries that baffled Scotland Yard and outwitted Victorian England’s most cunning criminals.

The Wordsworth Library Collection edition is a treasure in itself. Bound in black soft-touch linen cloth with metallic gold and colored foil blocking, this hardcover features coordinated head and tail bands, a silk ribbon marker, and gorgeous colored spray edges. The sewn pages and two-color endpapers with an exclusive design by Holly Dunn make this volume as beautiful to hold as the stories within are thrilling to read.

Whether you’re discovering Holmes for the first time or returning to Baker Street like an old friend, this complete collection belongs on your shelf. The literary cult of Sherlock Holmes shows no sign of fading—and one read through these pages will remind you exactly why.
