The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes & His Last Bow (Wordsworth Classics)

Plenty of others have commented on the quality of these stories, so I'll not add much to that, except to say that, regardless of how Doyle felt about churning out yet more stories about SH, you could not possible expect stories written over such a long period of time not to reflect all of:- the author self-evidently aged during the period;- the world in which the stories are set changed a lot during the period;- the character(s) over the same period must surely change and evolve;- the stories in which they occur, for better or worse, must also change for all the preceding reasons;- no-one can write more and more identically presented stories for ever.When reading all the SH stories in a compressed timescale, it is easy to overlook all the above. But if you consider musicians and writers during our own lifetimes so far, anyone still producing the same stuff after 30/40 years just wouldn't keep selling their books/music!But to the the presentation of the book itself. Firstly, at £1.99, you can't complain about the value for money! One thing I like about the Wordsworth editions is that they contain original artwork accompanying the stories, which I feel enhance the writing, as well as acting as a suitable reminder of the appearance and dress of the period. Books without pictures have not always been the norm, and I find their presence a welcome feature.

These Wordsworth Classics really are great value, most are just £1.99 and offer a great opportunity to catch up on some classics, whilst not breaking the bank.The book includes a nice introduction which provides some historical information and detail of the stories.The paper quality is not great, but for this price what do yo expect. I read the book on holiday, then gave it to my local Oxfam.Great value, and highly recommended.

This is the final volume of stories about the great detective. Even in his old age our hero does his duty by his country and helps in the battle against that scoundrel, the Kaiser. The criminal underworld will not be able to work freely without constantly looking over their shoulders for another twelve stories. Good read, good edition.

Great book

Given as a present

Good condition, ordered late Friday night it arrived Sunday afternoon. Great short stories, the final two books of sherlocks adventures

This book was sent promptly, was good value for money and just what was wanted for Christmas by the person concerned.

An excellent collection of short stories by the original and best Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, using his most celebrated of characters, set in a time when all was as it should be.
