The adventures and memoirs of sherlock holmes

---

Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous Sherlock Holmes stories have been on my TBR list since forever (partly because of my love for the Sherlock TV series, admittedly!), so I’m glad I have finally got round to reading these canonical works of detective fiction. Whilst I often find Victorian literature a little hard-going (I have still to this day never made it all the way through a Dickens novel, despite my best efforts), I absolutely breezed through this collection of 23 stories as I always found myself eager to know the outcome of Holmes’ latest mystery.

At the centre of these intriguing tales are the characters of Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson, and it is the relationship between these two radically different personalities that really puts the heart into what could have otherwise ended up as formulaic mystery fiction. Holmes’ reputation as one of the most intelligent and charismatic characters in literature is in my opinion more than justified, and the way he deduces things from seemingly insignificant observations is nothing short of astonishing, as is emphasised by the reactions of everyone around him. His eccentric habits make him all the more intriguing and three-dimensional, and his close friendship with Watson despite his solitary nature is heart-warming.
