My 9 year old carried this edition of Sherlock around with him for a week. The replica images are cool; the type is a bit difficult to read. A great gift.

I'll admit it. Although I am a voracious reader, I have been remiss in my enjoyment of the adventures of Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson. I have spent the last few weeks rectifying that lamentable omission in my literary background.
Frankly, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are an absolute joy. Each story is a delight to read. To my mind Conan Doyle's short stories represent the best of mystery writing. They plumb the depth of the human heart and run the gamut of emotion.
No one can truly say that he or she is truly educated in English Literature without reading Sherlock Holmes. (It's interesting -- even persons who tend to dislike mysteries -- tend to like Holmes and Watson!)
Highest of all possible recommendations!

This collection contains twenty-four of the Sherlock Holmes short stories, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
"The Complete Sherlock Holmes" lets you tag along as the great detective is called upon, again and again, by Scotland Yard, to solve seemingly-unsolvable mysteries. Holmes uses his brilliantly logical mind, his attention to detail, and his vast knowledge of trivia, to do what all the current-day television crime-scene investigation shows are doing.
This book is very readable and highly enjoyable. The only admonition I would give, is to read this book in spurts, which is easily done, with its many short stories. Why do I suggest this? If you try to read it, cover-to-cover, you will see that many of the Holmes stories do follow somewhat of a pattern or formula. That does not come through if you read the book in pieces. It makes a great traveling book, or a book to read before sleep, unless you are highly prone to nightmares (i.e., some people do get killed).

You can't go wrong here. The book is light, the type is large and the original illustrations and reproduced in their original sizes. Plus you have the charm of seeing the actual type laid out when these now classics stories were very first read.
