"Sherlock Holmes was the most popular character in Victorian fiction, but when arch-enemy Moriarty bumped him off at the Reichenbach Falls in "The Final Problem" (1893), many readers were angry and dismayed. Some even cancelled their subscriptions to 'The Strand' magazine where Holmes was the star turn. The 'Return of Sherlock Holmes,' published in 1903-4, was Arthur Conan Doyle's belated but brilliant response. What you get for your money here is...
