The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes (Collins Classics) Sir Arthur Conan Doyle William Collins
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. Featuring the last 12 stories ever written about the infamous detective, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes contains some of Conan Doyle’s most villainous and unusual characters. The 1920s was a disenchanting era, and the darker mood of many of these stories reflects the environment at the time. Some even felt that the stories showed Conan Doyle exploring Spiritualism as it was an area he was interested in at the time and the mental derangement and physical disfigurements that crop up in many of the stories allude to the horrors of the First World War. The collection includes ‘The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire’, ‘The Adventure of the Creeping Man’ and ‘The Adventure of the Lion’s Mane’. Σελίδες: 336, Διαστάσεις: 11.1x11.1cm

The title story recounts how Sherlock Holmes is brought out of retirement to help the government foil a German plot on the eve of the First World War. These two fascinating sets of stories make a glorious farewell to the greatest detective of them all and his erstwhile companion, Dr Watson. Σελίδες: 432, Διαστάσεις: 12.9x12.9cm

The Signalman: A Ghost Story Charles Dickens Profile Books Ltd
On the 9th of June 1865, Charles Dickens was travelling aboard the Folkestone to London Boat Train with his mistress and her mother, when it derailed while crossing a viaduct near Staplehurst in Kent. The train plunged down a bank into a dry river bed, killing ten passengers, and badly wounding forty. Dickens was profoundly affected by the disaster, and a year later, he published The Signalman, a supremely atmospheric ghost story in which the narrator, while investigating a dank and lonely railway cutting, meets the signalman who works there. His new acquaintance appears to live under the shadow of an unbearable secret, haunted by an apparition whose appearance prefigures terrible rail accidents. Drawing on Dickens own experiences, and introduced by Simon Bradley, author of The Railways, The Signalman is both an important piece of rail history, and a sinister tale which will make you think twice next time you enter the quiet carriage.

Sweeney Todd: The String of Pearls James Malcolm Rymer Wordsworth Editions Ltd
Fully revised Second Edition. With a new Introduction and Bibliography by Dick Collins. The exploits of Sweeney Todd, ‘The Demon Barber of Fleet Street’, have been recounted many times in plays, films and musicals, but the origins of the character largely were forgotten for many years. The String of Pearls - the original tale of Sweeney Todd, a classic of British horror - was first published as a weekly serial in 1846-7 by Edward Lloyd, the King of the Penny Dreadfuls. One of the earliest detective stories, it became an important source for Bram Stoker\'s Dracula, but it was after over 150 years of obscurity that it appeared first in book form in the Wordsworth edition published in 2005. The one great mystery that has surrounded the book is who the author was - or was it possibly the work of more than one man? In his new introduction to this fully revised second edition, Dick Collins, by means of detailed research of contemporary records, has established finally the identity of the creator of this legendary figure. So here is the original story of the terrifying owner of that famous London barber-shop, and the secret recipe for Mrs Lovett\'s delicious pies… Σελίδες: 304, Διαστάσεις: 12.9x12.9cm

Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Other Tales Robert Louis Stevenson Oxford University Press
\'Instantly the spirit of hell awoke in me and raged...I was suddenly struck through the heart by a cold thrill of terror.\' Stevenson\'s short novel, published in 1886, became an instant classic.

The respectable doctor\'s mysterious relationship with his disreputable associate is finally revealed in one of the most original and thrilling endings in English literature. In addition to Jekyll and Hyde, this edition also includes a number of short stories and essays written by Stevenson in the 1880s, minor masterpieces of fiction and comment: \'The Body Snatcher\', \'Markheim\', and \'Olalla\' feature grave-robbing, a sinister double, and degeneracy, while \'A Chapter on Dreams\' and \'A Gossip on Romance\' discuss artistic creation and the \'romance\' form. Appendixes provide extracts from contemporary writings on personality disorder, which set Stevenson\'s tale in its full historical context. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World\'s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
