Autumn Spirit

Let’s take a break, make some tea and rest in companion of good book. Here, the armchair is free. Help yourself to a cup of tea!

Let’s talk about our recent good reads, good ladies and gentlemen. For sure all of us heard about Sherlock Holmes, indeed, a famous fellow! Sir Arthur Conan Doyle gave us a lot to read, no doubt. I present to you today “The Best of Sherlock Holmes”, twenty magnificent stories selected by David Stuart Davies, out of the detective’s most puzzling and mysterious cases.

Anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the world of intrigue and crime, whether following characters for the first time, or returning to Baker Street with sentiment, will certainly not regret picking up said collection.

Don’t worry my dear fellow literature enthusiasts, for I am about to introduce vaguely the plot, for not everyone may be familiar. In the late Victorian era, in London swathed in eddies of fog and illuminated by gaslight, is to be found the remarkable character of Sherlock Holmes and his staunch companion, Doctor John H. Watson.

Eccentric detective is usually to be found deep in thoughts, on track of the most cunning villains, using his intellect as well as imagination. Despite appearing as cold and calculating at first, his behaviour and mercy in many cases, or friendship with Watson by itself, prove that the man’s heart isn’t made of stone.

I believe mentioned book would be a very good start to dive into many exciting adventures! May I finish with a quote:

Few will be able to resist this invitation to step aboard the waiting hansom cab and rattle off along cobbled streets into unimagined dangers and intrigues”
