Title: The Return of Sherlock Holmes Installments Taken from Strand Magazine
Description: Lonodn, George Newnes, 1903-04. First edition. Paperback. All of the stories from Arthur Conan Doyle's 'The Return of Sherlock Holmes&apos. These installments have been taken from the Strand Magazine and bound together. The first edition of these stories, taken from the Strand Magazine of 1903-1904. Bound together in paper wraps. Illustrated throughout, by Sidney Paget. Paget illustrated the previous Sherlock Holmes stories, and it is for these he is best known. All twelve stories to this work are set after the 1893 Holmes collection when Sherlock had 'died' in 'The Final Problem&apos. Conan Doyle had initially planned for 'The Final Problem' to be the last of the Holmes stories. However, due to public demand he wrote 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' set before 'The Final Problem&apos. This collection 'The Return of Sherlock Holmes' sees Holmes explaining his absence between 1891 and 1894, a period referred to as 'The Great Hiatus&apos. Pasted to the front of this work is Watson's statement that Holmes has retired and he is forbidding him to publish any more stories.

'The Adventure of the Second Stain' is not present to this volume. A bright, first edition collection of these Sherlock Holmes tales. In paper wraps, with the title written to the front wrap in ink. Externally, smart, with just a few handling marks. Small loss to the head and tail of spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright with just the occasional light spot. Very Good Indeed . Ill.: Sidney Paget. Very Good Indeed .
