THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES is a choice of twelve short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. It was once first published on 14 October 1892, though the individual stories had been serialised in The Strand Magazine between June 1891 and July 1892. The stories aren’t in chronological order, and the only characters common to all twelve are Holmes and Dr. Watson. As with every but four of the Sherlock Holmes stories, those contained within The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes are told by a first-person narrative from the standpoint of Dr. Watson.

In general, the stories in THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES identify, and check out to correct, social injustices. Holmes is portrayed as offering a new, fairer sense of justice. The stories were well received, and boosted the subscriptions figures of The Strand Magazine, prompting Doyle as a way to demand more money for his next set of stories. The first story, ‘A Scandal in Bohemia’, includes the character of Irene Adler, who, regardless of being featured only within this one story by Doyle, is a prominent character in up to date Sherlock Holmes adaptations, typically as a love interest for Holmes. Doyle included four of the twelve stories from this collection in his twelve favourite Sherlock Holmes stories, picking ‘The Adventure of the Speckled Band’ as his overall favourite.
