The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Short Stories (2 Vol. Set)

Sherlock Holmes Books
by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Since his first appearance in Beeton's Christmas Annual in 1887, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes has been one of the most beloved fictional characters ever created. Conan Doyle's classic hero appears in 56 short stories and 4 novels, starting with the early novel, A Study In Scarlet, that introduced the eccentric genius of Sherlock Holmes to the world.

Come visit a Victorian England of horse-drawn cabs, London fogs, and the famous lodgings at 221B Baker Street, where Sherlock Holmes earned his reputation as the greatest fictional detective of all time.
 

The Sherlock Holmes Feature Film Collection

Sherlock Holmes DVDs
with Jeremy Brett

Jeremy Brett's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes is perhaps the best filmed version of Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective, showcasing Holmes's dazzling brilliance without ignoring his unnerving intensity or drug dependencies. First aired on Britain's Granada Television in 1984, the series offered perfect casting (David Burke, replaced later in the run by Edward Hardwicke, played Dr. Watson as Holmes's sturdy companion and chronicler rather than as a buffoon), and a running time of almost an hour per story, which allowed superior detail and faithfulness to the original source.


The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Boxed Set Collection)

The Adventures of
Sherlock Holmes (DVDs)

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes marked the beginning of the long-running series. Highlights of these 13 episodes include "A Scandal in Bohemia," which introduces Irene Adler (Gayle Hunnicutt); the chilling locked-room mystery "The Speckled Band"; the introduction of Sherlock's brother Mycroft (Charles Gray) in "The Greek Interpreter"; and "The Final Problem," in which Holmes confronts his arch-enemy Professor Moriarty (Eric Porter) at Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland.


The Return of Sherlock Holmes Collection

The Return of
Sherlock Holmes (DVDs)

Granada Television followed The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes with The Return of Sherlock Holmes, 11 more episodes of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective played by Jeremy Brett. After his apparent demise at the hands of Professor Moriarty, Holmes is resurrected in "The Empty House." Brett is outstanding as the famed sleuth, whose return from what Sherlockians call the Great Hiatus is challenged by one of Moriarty's most murderous lieutenants (Patrick Allen).
