The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes continues the short stories that began with The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, originally appearing in The Strand Magazine between December 1892 and December 1893. This collection includes some of the best-known tales in the Holmes canon. Silver Blaze features Holmes’s famous observation about “the curious incident of the dog in the night-time,” while The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual provides a glimpse into one of Holmes’s earliest cases.

The collection builds toward The Adventure of the Final Problem, in which Doyle introduced Professor Moriarty as Holmes’s intellectual equal and then killed both characters off at Reichenbach Falls. The Hound of the Baskervilles, set before Holmes’s death, appeared in 1901 and is often considered the finest Holmes novel. This listing includes the original stories along with various international editions. Doyle wrote these stories while growing tired of his most famous creation, and his desire to move on to historical fiction is visible in the finality of The Final Problem.
