The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Seasons Edition--Spring)

It was a perfect day, with a bright sun and a few fleecy clouds in the heavens. The trees and wayside hedges were just throwing out their first green shoots, and the air was full of the pleasant smell of the moist earth. To me at least there was a strange contrast between the sweet promise of the spring and this sinister quest upon which we were engaged. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his iconic detective. Venture back in time to Victorian London to join literature's greatest detective team - the brilliant Sherlock Holmes and his devoted assistant, Dr. Watson - as they investigate a dozen of their best-known cases. Originally published in 1892, featured tales include several of the author's personal favorites: 'A Scandal in Bohemia' - in which a king is blackmailed by a former lover and Holmes matches wits with the only woman to attract his open admiration - plus 'The Speckled Band,' 'The Red-Headed League,' and 'The Five Orange Pips.' Additional mysteries include 'The Blue Carbuncle,' 'The Engineer's Thumb,' 'The Beryl Coronet,' 'The Copper Beeches,' and others. Narrated by award-winning voice talent Simon Bubb, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Seasons Edition--Spring) is one of three titles available in March 2021. The spring season also will include Emma and The Secret Garden.

The Sign of the Four

'By the table, in a wooden arm-chair, the master of the house was seated all in a heap, with his head sunk upon his left shoulder, and that ghastly, inscrutable smile upon his face. He was stiff and cold, and had clearly been dead many hours. It seemed to me that not only his features but all his limbs were twisted and turned in the most fantastic fashion. By his hand upon the table there lay a peculiar instrument,—a brown, close-grained stick, with a stone head like a hammer, rudely lashed on with coarse twine. Beside it was a torn sheet of note-paper with some words scrawled upon it. Holmes glanced at it, and then handed it to me. “You see,” he said, with a significant raising of the eyebrows. In the light of the lantern I read, with a thrill of horror, “The sign of the four.” “In God’s name, what does it all mean?” I asked. “It means murder,” said he, stooping over the dead man.' Published in 1890 in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine, the Sign of the Four or The Problem of the Sholtos is the second of the Sherlock Holmes stories penned by Arthur Conan Doyle. Presenting Sherlock and Watson with a case of a mysterious murder in a seemingly locked room, with the theft of over half a million pounds in jewels seemingly as the motive. Can even Sherlock Holmes track down the criminals before they escape the country? Narrated by Michael Ward.
