This section encompasses the dozen short stories contained in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. These are some of the more well known stories because many have been turned into films or television episodes. It also contains a few of my favorites from the canon: "A Scandal in Bohemia", "The Adventure of the Red-Headed League", and "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle". Arthur Conan Doyle hit his stride in these stories and the character of Sherlock Holmes is given more depth than in the previous short novels. Of course, Stephen Fry's reading of the stories is excellent.
