About the author

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a British writer and physician. He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are milestones in the field of crime fiction.
Doyle was a prolific writer. In addition to the Holmes stories, his works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger, and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement" (1884), helped to popularise the mystery of the brigantine Mary Celeste, found drifting at sea with no crew member aboard.

Intersting tales of sherlock holmes. I enjoyed reading the graphic novel form of it. A must read

[Beth · Rating 4 out of 5]

This mystery is the right level of difficulty, though i wish it had more visual clues. I do like the format of the graphic novel, with the maps and character images before the story and the quick explanation at the end.

A decent adaptation - even if it does skimp on the pictures in favour of reported speech / text too often.

Watson is shot!!!!

[Sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very quick read. Would be good to use in an educational setting and I would recommend using it with predictions and context clues.

[Matthew · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a really nice introduction for younger readers to the Sherlock Holmes stories. It is a nice combination of graphic novel and abridged text. The art, characterization rather than realistic, works.
