The Original Illustrated Sherlock Holmes: 37 Short Stories and a Novel from the "Strand Magazine"

Product Information

Most of the stories are highly atmospheric and if you've ever been to England it's very easy to immerse yourself in the narrative, which I thought was marvelous. An acid-charred bench of chemicals: The Adventure of the Naval Treaty and The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone If one could just ignore that story, then constructing a floor plan would be simple -- and most artists who have attempted to depict 221B Baker Street have done just that. But this time I based them on the items as they had been depicted in the original Strand Magazine illustrations which had apparently been published with the approval of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. That article also points out that the simple bay window in my previous illustrations should have been a more complex bow window. Then it displays a modified terraced house floor plan to which a bow window has been crudely added.

A reading lamp which Holmes turned away from himself and towards a vacant chair: The Five Orange Pips Although Doyle had written other adventure series, Professor Challenger and Brigadier Gerard, he considered his true calling to be an author of Medieval Romances, with knights and so forth. I read some of them and they are quite wordy and pretty bad. The short story was Doyle’s true métier. And I say, without hesitation, if not for Holmes, Doyle would now be forgotten. There is a reading lamp (a.k.a. student lamp) near Holmes' chair which can direct light to a vacant chair nearby which appears in The Five Orange Pips.Had it existed, could it have been a terraced house? The stories rule out that notion as impossible -- which is a hard pill to swallow for those who insist that it must conform to those other buildings that they see in the old maps and photos. A coal scuttle containing cigars, pipes and tobacco: The Musgrave Ritual and The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone In the past I've used Zazzle, but I'm exploring other possibilities as well, including signed and framed limited edition prints is there is any interest. This book is also set up so that it appears in the same fashion (layout, typeface, etcetera) as it did when the stories first appeared in The Strand. More points in its favor.

Holmes' chamber upstairs has a second door which opens to the hallway in The Adventure of the Beryl Cornet so now the hallway stairs go up another floor. Nota bene: Долуописаната сцена не е част от никоя от историите на сър Артър Конан Дойл. Всяка прилика с фикционални лица и събития обаче е напълно преднамерена. Maps of the area from the late nineteenth century indicate that many of the buildings in the vicinity were narrow and deep like a typical terraced house.There are several illustrations on the web which depict 221B Baker Street as a terraced house, but one web article in particular goes so far as to criticize my illustration for not being a terraced house.

As the collection of stories grew, 221B Baker Street emerged as something truly fascinating and unlike any other dwelling in London. Holmes had described it in his characteristic understated manner as some nice rooms which he had found, and which were too much for his purse. My overall rating is 4.5 stars for the entire bind up. I do list each story and my rating individually, as well as my average rating for each collection.* January had 6, February 7, March 5, April 4, May, June, and July all had 3. August had 4, September 6, October 5, November 4, and December 10. I really liked the experience and I am proud of this accomplishment. My first time to read a canon. Before reading this, I thought that the word canon only applied to biblical works. Well, that was the first thing I learned upon adding this book in my currently-reading folder.

That floor plan supposedly conforms with all of the stories in the Canon including in The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone -- except that when Holmes and Watson try to leave the premises undetected, they will run face to face into the villain who is coming up the stairs because their secret exit was taken away. At the age of nine Conan Doyle was sent to the Roman Catholic Jesuit preparatory school, Hodder Place, Stonyhurst. He then went on to Stonyhurst College, leaving in 1875. There is no doubt that my hands down favourite of the entire collection was The Hound of the Baskervilles, but make no mistake I loved it all. urn:lcp:classicillustrat0000doyl:lcpdf:e436596b-0222-4850-85b6-e3ed57686b52 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier classicillustrat0000doyl Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t3rv7r65x Invoice 1213 Isbn 0681401893

The sofa design widely varies throughout the stories but the orientation with the head rest on the left is demanded in a scene in The Adventure of the Cardboard Box, a story which appears in some editions and not others. The same scene is also duplicated in some editions of The Resident Patient where The Adventure of the Cardboard Box is omitted. The illustration in The Adventure of the Cardboard Box is my source for this depiction.
