The Gathering Gloom The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

THE SCHOOLROOM OF SORROW. Dive into the deepest abysses of the human soul with Mr. Sherlock Holmes and Dr John H. Watson. From the days before his career as a consulting detective to years of his restful retirement, Sherlock Holmes has all too often encountered terrible events that served to shape his philosophy. To Holmes, every adventure holds the possibility of teaching an earthly lesson regarding the nature of good and evil. These tales include The Father of Evil, The Adventure of the Dishonourable Discharge, The Adventure of the Fatal Fire, The Adventure of the Awakened Spirit, and The Cold Dish.AN EAST WIND. In the time of England's greatest need, Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson stand ready. A great and awful war is brewing in the East, and foreign agents will do everything in their power to see England brought to its knees. Only the swift actions of Sherlock Holmes can prevent the empire's secrets from being sold to its enemies, thereby dooming thousands of brave young men to terrible deaths upon the fields of Flanders and in the frigid waters of the North Sea. These talks include The Adventure of the Third Traitor, The Adventure of the Unfathomable Silence, The High Mountain, The Adventure of the Defenceless Prisoner, and Their Final Flourish. Dr Watson narrates all ten adventures contained herein in the finest tradition and spirit of such classics as 'The Problem of Thor Bridge' and 'The Adventure of the Naval Treaty.' This edition is fully annotated with a cornucopia of scholarly insights that compare these newly unearthed tales by Dr John H. Watson to the classic adventures from the Canon of Sherlock Holmes, as originally recounted by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
