   Mysteries to be solved?  Knots to be unraveled?  Go visit 221b Baker Street, London, where Sherlock Holmes, the greatest consulting detective of all time would be waiting to offer his advice on your most complex puzzles. 

   Sherlock Holmes has a kind of intuition.  Now and then a case turns up, he bustles about and sees things with his own eyes.  Observation is  second nature to Holmes.  With a wealth of scientific knowledge, extraordinary capacity of deduction and powers of analysis, Holmes rarely fails to crack a case, however complicated it might be.

   The author, Sir Conan Doyle, studied medicine at Edinburgh University, Scotland.  He led a varied and adventurous life.  He was a historian, athlete, and war correspondent.  He himself was very likely the “prototype” of John H. Watson. Dr. Watson is Sherlock Holmes’s friend, assistant, one-time flatmate at 221b Baker Street, and above all, the first person narrator of their adventure stories.

   If you are interested in reading detective stories, and better yet, relish the taste of the late 19th century English literature, this pocket book Sherlock Holmes would surely whet your appetite.  Immersed in the intriguing process of solving mysteries along with the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, you find yourselves enlightened as well as entertained.
