The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

The collection explores social injustices through the lens of Sherlock Holmes, who embodies a new, fairer sense of justice. The stories gained popularity, significantly increasing The Strand Magazine's subscriptions and allowing Arthur Conan Doyle to negotiate better terms for future works. Notable characters include Irene Adler from "A Scandal in Bohemia," who has become a significant figure in modern adaptations. Doyle himself favored "The Adventure of the Speckled Band," selecting four stories from this collection as his favorites.
