The Archives of Sherlock Holmes: Volume 1

The Archives of Sherlock Holmes: Volume One is a first-of-its-kind collection of authentic Sherlock Holmes stories taken directly from the writings of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The untold cases of Sherlock Holmes are well known to fans of the original series. Over the years, Doyle alluded to dozens of cases, many with tantalizing details, which he would never fully describe. Author and artist Ben Congdon, has studied Doyle's brilliant work for years, and he has turned a lifelong ambition into a reality with the publication of The Archives of Sherlock Holmes. This first installment features three famous cases taken directly from Holmes canon: The Adventure of the Mad Colonel, The Ancient British Barrow, and The Adventure of the Tired Captain. With sixteen beautiful illustrations in the style of Sidney Paget, and an absolute devotion to the tone and style of the original, this book will transport the reader back to the fascinating world which Conan Doyle first crafted so brilliantly.

Ben Congdon is an award-winning author, illustrator, and painter whose inspiring creations have appeared in publications and galleries throughout the United States. A lifelong fan of The Great Detective, Ben has painstakingly analyzed the brilliant work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle so that he might bring to life those "lost cases" to which Doyle alluded but never fully described.
