The first Sherlock Holmes book, A Study in Scarlet, was published in 1887, over a hundred years ago. Over the years, there has been countless of adaptations and retellings. Due to how many adaptations there are, I'm just going to talk about my favourites :)
next sherlock adaptations to watch:
I've read a few classics in my life, some of them I have loved, some I have hated, so going into reading Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock canon, I admittedly was a bit weary. However, I was honestly surprised how endearing Holmes and Watson are in the original texts. Most of these stories were published over a century ago and yet here I am still giggling and kicking my feet to whatever shenanigans this fictional dectective and his Boswell are up to. I think one of my favourite things about Sherlock canon which I was surprised to find was how silly and domestic the stories are.
where to read: anywhere, it's in the public domain, though you should support your local library!!
how long: 4 novels and 56 short stories
