Ever since he made his first appearance in A Study In Scarlet, Sherlock Holmes has enthralled and delighted millions of fans throughout the world.

Now Arthur Conan Doyle’s complete works - four novels and five collections of short stories - has been brought to life by Stephen Fry, a lifelong fan of Doyle’s detective fiction, in this The Definitive Collection. In addition, Stephen has written and narrated nine insightful, intimate and deeply personal introductions to each title.

Part 6: The Return of Sherlock Holmes

In creating this collection of tales after a ten year hiatus, Doyle had lost none of his cunning or panache, providing Holmes with a sparkling set of mysteries to solve and a challenging set of adversaries to defeat. The potent mixture includes murder, abduction, baffling cryptograms and robbery. We are also introduced to the one of the cruellest villains in the Holmes canon, the despicable Charles Augustus Milverton.
