A collection of twelve short stories, published in 1892, by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. I The stories are not in chronological order, and the only characters common to all twelve are Holmes and Dr. Watson. The stories are related in first-person narrative from Watson's point of view. In general the stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes identify, and try to correct, social injustices. Holmes is portrayed as offering a new, fairer sense of justice.
