All Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock stories.

I didn't see a topic with all the Sherlock stories listed so I thought to make one. If there already is one general topic for these stories, I apologize and moderators feel free to lock this.

I'm reading this finnish Sherlock short story collection and have read the stories "A Scandal in Bohemia", "The Adventure of the Red-Headed League" and "A Case of Identity" so far and really liked them all. The second one reminded me of Woody Allen's movie SMALL TIME CROOKS where the guys put up a pastry shop as a front to be able to dig a tunnel in the basement to the bank next door. I wonder if Woody's read the book in question.

Here you can have general discussion of all the short stories and novels. So, who here has read all ACD's Sherlock stories? Which do you prefer of the novels? I've only read Baskervilles so far and loved it.

4 novels:

"A Study in Scarlet" (published 1887)
"The Sign of the Four" (published 1890)
"The Hound of the Baskervilles" (serialised 1901–1902 in The Strand)
"The Valley of Fear" (serialised 1914–1915)

I don't think we have a list of them, certainly not set out like this. Really useful. Thank you.

We do actually. I remember doing it at the start.

Re: All Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock stories.

I looked for it but clearly didn't see. Maybe I will have to go a bit deeper. Was it posted in this topic? I had a niggling feeling I had seen them but...

Re: All Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock stories.

Sorry about that, kaz. I wasn't trying to step into your shoes. For one they're too small for my clown feet. So where that topic of yours, then?

It has me baffled too actually. This topic didn't exist back then.


IdigN1- no apology necessary, & thanks for posting this as mine seems to have flown the coop somehow, lol.

Re: All Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock stories.

I'm sure I had one set out just as you have up there but never mind; I have found where I listed all stories in another thread, after the initial posts:

My Alzheimer's is coming along quite nicely, thanks for asking.

Re: All Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock stories.

Damn, and I copied my list from Wikipedia as well. I wish mine had at least been a bit more original. With pictures of flowers, butterflies and unicorns or something. Oh well. We should use your thread then, since there's more discussion on it already.

NO. The other thread is about unpublished stories, leave this here.

Re: All Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock stories.

Yeah this is a different thread and it's handy that the list is right at the top so people can use it for reference.

Re: All Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock stories.

Just won this finnish Sherlock Holmes novel collection at a net auction for 4 euros. It contains the first three novel collections. So that's 37 Sherlock novels for some light summer reading. This makes me happy. There's also this finnish collection with all 56 Sherlock novels (1300 pages) but it's too pricey for me at the moment.

Re: All Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock stories.

I use this site for reference; What I like about it is that it lists the year of supposed action, as the timeline jumps back and forth.
Not much use for BBC Sherlock, as Moftiss have their own timeline, but fun for following the originals.

Re: All Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock stories.

drama!!   that's Jeremy Brett on the cover of your book!!  OOOOHHH  congrats on winning that.   Ok  I  loved your list.   But  isn't there a story  called  "How Watson learned the trick"?   I  could have sworn there was that story  in one of the collections  that I had,  but maybe I'm wrong. I  had found these separate  collection books in old bookstores long ago,  but when I got the big  book that had all 60  stories in it,  I gave those up.    I cannot recall which collection it was in, either...Memoirs,  Casebook,  Adventures, or Return.   Can anyone shed any light on this?  My  memory's not tooo good these days.

Re: All Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock stories.

Don't know about that story you mentioned. I copy/pasted the list from Wikipedia. Maybe someone else knows?

Speaking of Jeremy Brett, the whole series starring Brett is available now on DVD for mere 20 pounds (new) at amazon co uk and includes the whole series, that's 16 discs. When I have the extra money, I'm buying that baby.

Re: All Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock stories.

"How Watson Learned the Trick" was one of two parodies by ACD.  I have it in "The Complete Sherlock Holmes" Volume II -  Introduction and Notes by Kyle Freeman.  I haven't read it yet.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And I said "dangerous" and here you are.

You. It's always you. John Watson, you keep me right.

Re: All Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock stories.

Oh  you  lucky  person, you,  KP!!   I  could swear  I  had  that very same story  in MY  book the complete sherlock holmes, but I do not.  I  have the one that was sold at barnes and noble,  with the preface written by Christopher Morley.   Is there any way to get a singular copy of it,  online?   No,  I don't have an e reader as of yet.   

dramagod--  yep--I  have that whole JB series on dvd too--  you  will enjoy it.  It  is well  worth the money,  to get ALL of the stories that JB filmed,  plus the deleted scenes not shown on tv in your country.   Not to mention the hours of enjoyment  and observations done by Brett  and  the 2 actors who played Watson.  most enjoyable.

Re: All Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock stories.

You missed a few, Dramagod.

How Watson learned the trick
The Field Bazaar

Holmes not mentioned, but probably him:

The Lost Special
The man with the watches

The play Conan-Doyle ''A Drama in Four Acts''

and the unfinished ''The Adventure of the Tall Man''

These are often not included in the Canon, but they are fun to read for the true fan.
