This is Book 1 of the series «The Chronological Sherlock Holmes».
"A Study in Scarlet" is a detective mystery novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, introducing his new characters, «consulting detective» Sherlock Holmes and his friend and chronicler, Dr. John Watson, who later became two of the most famous characters in literature. Conan Doyle wrote the story in 1886, and it was published the following year. The book's title derives from a speech given by Holmes to Doctor Watson on the nature of his work, in which he describes the story's murder investigation as his «study in scarlet»: «There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it.» (A «study» is a preliminary drawing, sketch or painting done in preparation for a finished piece.) The story, and its main characters, attracted little public interest when it first appeared. Only 11 complete copies of Beeton's Christmas Annual 1887 are known to exist now and they have considerable value. Although Conan Doyle wrote 56 short stories featuring Holmes, «A Study in Scarlet» is one of only four full-length novels in the original canon. The novel was followed by «The Sign of the Four», published in 1890. «A Study in Scarlet» was the first work of detective fiction to incorporate the magnifying glass as an investigative tool.

This is Book 8 of the series «The Chronological Sherlock Holmes».
"His Last Bow: Some Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes" is a collection of seven previously-published Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle. Five of the stories were published in «The Strand Magazine» between September 1908 and December 1913. The final story, an epilogue about Holmes' war service, was first published in «Collier's» on 22 September 1917—one month before the book's premier on 22 October. Some later editions of the collection include «The Adventure of the Cardboard Box», which was also collected in «The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes» (1894). «The Strand» published «The Adventure of Wistaria Lodge» as «A Reminiscence of Sherlock Holmes», and divided it into two parts, called «The Singular Experience of Mr. John Scott Eccles» and «The Tiger of San Pedro». Later printings of «His Last Bow» correct «Wistaria» to «Wisteria». Also, the first US edition adjusts the subtitle to «Some Later Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes». All editions contain a brief preface, by «John H. Watson, M.D.». The preface assures readers that as of the date of publication (1917), Holmes is long retired from his profession of detective—but is still alive and well, albeit suffering from a touch of rheumatism.

This is Book 5 of the series «The Chronological Sherlock Holmes».
"The Hound of the Baskervilles" is the third of the four crime novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring the detective Sherlock Holmes. Originally serialised in «The Strand Magazine» from August 1901 to April 1902, it is set largely on Dartmoor in Devon in England's West Country and tells the story of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a fearsome, diabolical hound of supernatural origin. Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. Watson investigate the case. This was the first appearance of Holmes since his intended death in «The Final Problem», and the success of «The Hound of the Baskervilles» led to the character's eventual revival. In 2003, the book was listed as number 128 of 200 on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's «best-loved novel.» In 1999, it was listed as the top Holmes novel, with a perfect rating from Sherlockian scholars of 100.
