This Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Classic includes a glossary and reader's notes to help the modern reader appreciate the many intricacies of this wise and witty detective. HOLMES FIRST CAME ALIVE in the pages of The Strand Magazine around the beginning of the twentieth century, and the world's greatest sleuth has thrilled and entertained readers ever since. We love to explore Holmes' reasoning and watch the tumblers in his mind spin as much as we enjoy his revelations of what should have been obvious to us all along. It's little wonder that readers revolted and canceled their subscriptions when Doyle killed him at the end of "The Final Problem." Fortunately for mystery lovers everywhere, Holmes was resurrected shortly afterwards to solve even more crimes. Few fictional characters are as popular or enduring as this pipe-smoking, larger-than-life hero, who constantly saves Londoners from nefarious criminals and the dreaded Professor Moriarity. Even though he never actually said, "Elementary, my dear Watson," Sherlock Holmes' place as the ultimate rational thinking machine remains ingrained in our consciousness.
