The greatest detective who never lived.
Since his first appearance in 1887, Sherlock Holmes continues to entertain and fascinate us. With his deerstalker hat, pipe and magnifying glass, not to mention his incredible powers of observation and deduction, he has pitted his wits against thieves, spies, murderers and enemies – and out-thought them all. As he explains to his loyal sidekick, Watson, ‘When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.’ Drawing on 60 stories, the 175 quotes in this little book capture the enduring appeal of Conan Doyle’s thrilling adventures.
