A classic
This is a must-have. I bought my copy in the 1970's, as I had not read all the stories when I was a kid. I re-read it from front to back every few years. It's just delightful escapism literature. And Christopher Morley's introduction tells you how to easily tell a dyed-in-the-wool fan of Sherlock Holmes, as they'll discuss "endless delicious minutiae". Morley also describes the qualms that went around the world when Doyle apparently killed off Sherlock Holmes along with Moriarty in the falls. Doyle probably did that because he was tired of writing the stories, but the public couldn't get enough, so the series started up again. What a legacy of great fiction!
