Many of the stories were turned into screen plays and movies and all provide late night comfort with a spot of tea and a good briar. ( ) The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan, is a collection of short stories that all follow a similar plotline. They exercise the use of observation skills and mysteries of the greatest kind. There is almost always an unexepected twist toward the end of each short story that leaves the reader guessing in anticipation about what Sherlock Holmes uncovers. Within each short story, there are small addings about the time history and what is going on in the era other than just the mystery. The stories also describe life in the time era with hints such as the passing of street vendors, or Sherlock Holmes’ maid always being on a timely schedule. Though the plotlines are usually similar, each case or short story has a unique approach to the mystery and has a unique group of characters, whether a redhead that owns a pawn shop, to a king with a disrespectful past. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
