ABOUT THE BOOK:- Strand Magazine in Great Britain and Collier's in the US published the collection of thirteen Sherlock Holmes stories [1903-04].

Bert Carles, Michael Bakewell, Roger Danes, David Ashton, Peter Ling and Robert Forrest wrote the episodes while Enyd Williams-Patric Rayner duo directed the play. The popularity of characters began with a scandal in Bohemia [1891] with others set in the Victorian or Edward era [1880- 1914], narrated by Holmes friend and biographer John H. Watson. Sir Henry Littlejohn, chair of medical jurisprudence at the University of Edinburgh Medical School also cited an inspiration for Holmes. As police surgeon and medical fficer there, he extended a link between medical investigation and crime detection.
