“The Best of Sherlock Holmes”
Wordsworth Classics
Edited by David Stuart Davies
Sherlock Holmes stories have proved themselves timeless. This has been assisted recently by feature films starring Robert Downey Jnr and a TV series placing Sherlock in the modern day.
After the first Sherlock Holmes movie I was motivated to pick up my best of book. It featured 20 of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s best, as chosen by the editor.
Having not read any Holmes prior I can’t complain about his choices. It appears the editor tried to get a broad spectrum of the Holmes timeline and include pinnacle moment in the life of Holmes.
Conan Doyle’s style is amazing, through the narration of John Watson, Holmes’ detective partner. Even those not interested in crime novels will enjoy Holmes. Each story will take approximately one hour to read.
