The Return of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle
The Return of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of 13 short stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. They were first published in The Strand Magazine between October 1903 and December 1904 with original illustrations by Sidney Paget. All of these stories take place after the apparent death of Sherlock Holmes in "The Adventure of the Final Problem".
The book was first published in February 1905 by McClure, Phillips & Co. (New York) and then on March 7, 1905, by Georges Newnes, Ltd. (London)
It was the first Holmes collection since 1893 when Holmes was "dead" in The Final Problem. After publishing The Hound of the Baskervilles in 1901-1902 (although putting it before Holmes' death), Doyle came under intense pressure to revive his famous character.
The first story is set in 1894 and Holmes returns to London and explains the period from 1891 to 1994, a period called "The Great Hiatus" by Sherlockian enthusiasts.
