This book, published twenty five years ago, has now been revised and enlarged with additional illustrations. It includes The Hound of the Baskervilles as well as the two novels in the original collection and six prize-winning short stories. Considering his fame of old and that rekindled by television, the celebrated Sherlock Holmes should steal his fastidious way into the hearts of modern boys (and girls) although those youngsters of ability should be encouraged to meet him in the adult editions of his adventures.
