I purchased this book for use in the most advanced class in an English Camp in the Czech Republic. I feared that the English would be too hard but they had already read The Hound of the Baskervilles so it was suitable.

Sherlock Holmes will forever be one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time. No study of the character of a detective can begin anywhere but with a reading of some of the Holmes stories. This book is a collection of six considered among the greatest and I cannot argue with any of the selections. They are:
*) A Scandal in Bohemia
*) The Red-headed League
*) The Adventure of the Speckled Band
*) The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb
*) The Final Problem
*) The Adventure of the Empty House
This book is an excellent supplemental text for classes in fiction or for someone who wants to read some of the Holmes' stories. Another advantage of the Holmes stories is that they set a context that has validity for classes in history as well.

The Dover-Thrift edition of Sherlock Holmes advertised here is quite worth the pocket change, containing some of my favorite Holmes short stories including "The Red-headed League" and "The Adventure of the Speckled Band." I'll keep this simple; whether you like Sherlock Holmes or not, you should get these six classic stories under your belt. If you haven't read Doyle, this is a great book to read to see if you like the classic Doyle series.
Rated by buyers -
In detective literature Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with his Sherlock Holmes series is undoubtedly one of the best authors ever. His character Sherlock Holmes has a remarkable power of observation and his deductions from minutest details are plainly stunning. I feel there never is a dull moment in his stories; which are concise to the point. This compilation of six stories is no exception. My favorite from this list is "The Adventure of the Empty House"; in which Holmes busts the remaining group of Prof Moriati's gang. I will not divulge further for fear of giving up the plot.
