This is a book that you curl up with on long winter nights. I is light reading the magazine story all over again. Since I was 7 years old I have love Sherlock Holmes that is over 64 years ago. I know the ending to most of his stories but this book brings the excitement back as if I never read one of his stories. It will be one of the jewels of my collection

I don’t know how it happened, but somehow or other my original copy of this book disappeared. I loved it because the strand magazine illustrations just shouted the Victorian era. There were many book options if I just wanted Holmes stories, but those illustrations made all the difference for me. So after a quick search on eBay, I had my lost book again. Welcome back Sherlock and Watson! so nice to see you again! (Literally)

I received this book as a birthday present in the seventies from my husband, I was very much into Sherlock Holmes and read his complete works three times! Time past on, children came and grew up, things got shuffled around the basement and we moved. I forgot all about Mr Holmes while I was caught up with my busy life. I am now living in Florida and saw an old black and white movie with Basil Rathbone as Holmes and remembered how much I enjoyed Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's style of writing and story content. I went on e-bay because I magically seem find everything I desire there and could not believe that I actually found the exact same book! For anyone who loves mystery and fantastic story telling this is the book to read, and with original drawings from his publications included, these stories will really take you back in time.Read full review

Unless you are over 100 years old and read the Sherlock Holmes Canon when it was first published in The Strand Magazine,the Original Illustrated Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1991, Hardcover)with illustrations by Sidney Paget, is the only way to get the full Holmesian Experience. Recreating the orginal Stand pages fans see how Paget's images have done as much to shape our image of Holmes as Conan Doyle's prose. Paget illustrated the short story collections THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES, THE MEMORIES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES (publish as additional episode of THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES), & THE RETURN OF SHERLOCK HOLMES as well as the great novel, THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES so that is what is included in this excellent volume. To see the origin of such key bits of Sherlokanian as Holmes' Deerstalker cap & Inverness cape buy the Book!Read full review
