The Book

This is a fantastic 16-book anthology of Sherlock Holmes classic cases, retold so young readers can discover and appreciate the stories.

Sherlock Holmes and his faithful associate, Dr. Watson are known world-wide and their adventures will have kids engaged in the tales from beginning to end. The reader works along with the genius hero to try and solve mysteries before more disaster strikes.

This special collection brings Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most infamous detective to life. Award-winning children's fiction author Alex Woolf has done a brilliant job of retelling these stories with wit, many of the original turns of phrase, while simplifying and clarifying the language and plots to make the stories accessible to children.

Contents

A Study in Scarlet
The Speckled Band
The Reigate Squires
The Red-Headed League
The Blue Carbuncle
The Valley of Fear
The Musgrave Ritual
A Scandal in Bohemia
The Sign of Four
The Hound of the Baskervilles
The Naval Treaty
Silver Blaze
The Final Problem
The Empty House
The Dancing Men
The Six Napoleons

There is an illustration on most pages which visually enriches the text. Eve O'Brien's illustrations further animate the narrative and enhance the action and intrigue surrounding Holmes and Watson. The books will be enjoyed by both young and old and those new to the English language. Individual books are also available as well as the set plus large print and Kindle versions.

With Christmas around the corner this will be a prefect gift to give. I also recommend to add the set to a classroom and a school or home library. I love the books and highly recommend the set. They are quality through and through.
