Narrated by Charlton Griffin

Volume two in this series consists of one novel, The Hound of the Baskervilles,
and two collections of short stories, which include "Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes"
and "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" (a total of 23 stories). These creations by
Doyle represent the finest work of his Holmes series, and certainly the most
famous. They are reproduced here (and in all volumes) in the order in which they
were first published.

First appearing in print in 1890, the character of Sherlock Holmes has now become
synonymous worldwide with the concept of a super sleuth. His creator, Conan Doyle,
imbued his detective hero with intellectual power, acute observational abilities,
a penchant for deductive reasoning and a highly educated use of forensic skills.
Indeed, Doyle created the first fictional private detective who used what we now
recognize as modern scientific investigative techniques. Doyle ended up writing
four novels and 56 short stories featuring Holmes and his companion, Dr. Watson.
All but four are told in the first person by Watson, two by Holmes, and two are
written in the third person. Together, this series of beautifully written
Victorian literature has sold more copies than any other books in the English
language, with the exceptions of the Bible and Shakespeare.
