This collection is the second, third, and fourth sets of Holmes stories, plus The Hound of the Baskervilles. While it IS missing my favorite collection of stories, the first set which runs from A Study in Scarlet through The Sign of Four; and it DOES have the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad fourth set entitled "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" (the series should have ended at The Final Problem), this book gets four stars because the good stories are excellent and the bad stories areFor many years I have wanted to read more of Sherlock Holmes other than Hound of the Baskervilles, one of my favourite books.

But, in the end, it is the tales of Holmes that make this book attractive.A nice
The stories are timeless. I wont drone on about how brilliant the Sherlock Holmes series is, since everyone already is aware. One thing I have observed in reading and re-reading The collection is that the Holmes-Watson relationship is more interesting than most of their cases, an aspect which I actually think was captured well in the recent Robert Downey Jr.-Jude Law films.
