After Arthur Conan Doyle introduced Sherlock Holmes in the novel A Study in Scarlet in 1887 and followed it up with The Sign of Four in 1890, he wrote a series of 24 short mysteries featuring the detective and his colleague, Dr. Watson, in the pages of the Strand magazine from 1891 to 1893. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes collects the first 12 of these tales—(the last 12 of which comprise The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes)—including "A Scandal in Bohemia" (which introduces Irene Adler), "The Red-Headed League," "The Five Orange Pips," and "The Speckled Band"—some of the greatest stories in the Sherlock Holmes canon.
