The adventures of sherlock holmes by sir arthur conan doyle

Sherlock Holmes, the 
hero of the English 
writer sir Arthur 
Conan Doyle
‘My name is Sherlock 
Holmes. It is my 
business to know what 
other people don’t 
know.’
Sherlock Holmes Quote
-The Bascombe Valley Mystery

---

“His very person and appearance 
were such as to strike the 
attention of the most casual 
observer. In height he was rather 
over six feet, and so excessively 
lean that he seemed to be 
considerably taller. His eyes were 
sharp and piercing, save during 
those intervals of torpor to which I 
have alluded; and his thin, hawk-
like nose gave his whole 
expression an air of alertness and 
decision. His chin, too, had the 
prominence and squareness which 
mark the man of determination.."

Fame has 
penetrated into 
all corners of 
England, and 
then about the 
brilliant detective 
learned 
worldwide.

Holmes uses the famous 
deductive method. He 
may, in individual 
parts, for some little 
things to talk about 
man and his character. 
‘You know my method. 
It is founded upon the 
observation of trifles.’
Sherlock Holmes Quote
-The Bascombe Valley Mystery

At Holmes’s friend Dr. Watson. Many things he 
could not understand in the decisions and 
conclusions of Holmes, and he constantly asks 
questions. And Sherlock Holmes is always 
patient, lucidly explains what is unclear to us.

One of qualities Sherlock Holmes - he never 
refused to help people who were in trouble.
Sherlock Holmes didn't ask for large fee for his 
help. Sometimes he even did it for free. 
‘They say that genius is an infinite 
capacity for taking pains,’ he 
remarked with a smile. ‘It’s a very 
bad definition, but it does apply to 
detective work.’
Sherlock Holmes Quote
-A Study in Scarlet

---

In his free time Sherlock 
Holmes enjoyed 
playing the violin and 
smoking a pipe.
‘
Having gathered these facts, 
Watson, I smoked several pipes 
over them, trying to separate those 
which were crucial from others 
which were merely incidental.’
Sherlock Holmes Quote
-The Crooked Man

My first meeting with Sherlock was 3 years ago. I have 
got a book as a present for my birthday. And I want to 
say it was the best present I have ever had. Because 
since that time I have got also a new hobby- reading. I 
have read that book, later on I started to read the other 
stories about Sherlock Holmes and his adventures.
I want to say that Arthur Conan Doyle was a genius. The 
way how he described each story, how he chose the 
words and style of all characters was just fantastic. You 
never know what will be the end of the story. I think 
stories about doctor Watson and Sherlock Holmes will 
be popular for a long time. I advise these novels and 
stories to all my friends. Reading is the best way to 
spend free day. And reading of a good book is twice 
interesting and useful.
