The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes

The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle - is the final set of twelve (out of a total of fifty-six) Sherlock Holmes short stories by British writer Arthur Conan Doyle first published in the Strand Magazine between October 1921 and April 1927.

Title of collection The first British edition of the collection, published by John Murray, and the first American edition, published by George H. Doran Co., were both published in June 1927. However, they had slightly different titles. The title of the British collection was The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes (hyphenated ""Case-Book""), whereas the title of the American edition was The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes (""Case Book"" as two words).

Further confusing the issue of the title, some later publishers released the collection under the title The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes (""Casebook"" as a single word).

The first edition of The Case-Book, published by John Murray in 1927, does not present the stories in the order in which they were published: 1 - ""The Adventure of the Illustrious Client"" 2 - ""The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier"" 3 - ""The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone"" 4 - ""The Adventure of the Three Gables"" 5 - ""The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire 6 - ""The Adventure of the Three Garridebs"" 7 - ""The Problem of Thor Bridge"" 8 - ""The Adventure of the Creeping Man"" 9 - ""The Adventure of the Lion's Mane"" 10 - ""The Adventure of the Veiled Lodger"" 11 - ""The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place"" 12 - ""The Adventure of the Retired Colourman""

Adaptations Some series have featured adaptations of all the stories in The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, including the radio series The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1930–1936) and the later radio series The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1939–1950). All but two of the stories in the collection were dramatised for radio as part of the BBC Sherlock Holmes 1952–1969 radio series.

The stories in the collection, except ""The Blanched Soldier"", ""The Lion's Mane"", and ""The Retired Colourman"", were adapted into episodes of the Granada television series (1984–1994). ""The Mazarin Stone"" and ""The Three Garridebs"" were combined for one episode, and elements of ""The Veiled Lodger"" were incorporated into the Granada adaptation of ""The Noble Bachelor"". The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes was adapted for BBC Radio 4 in 1994–1995 as part of the Sherlock Holmes 1989–1998 radio series. All the stories in the collection were adapted as episodes of the radio series The Classic Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (2005–2016). Other adaptations of stories within the collection have also been produced.
