The Adventure of the Speckled Band and Other Stories of Sherlock Holmes

Baring-Gould’s extensive notes on the stories in this collection deal both with Holmes, the character invented by Conan Doyle, and Holmes, the consulting detective whose cases are chronicled for us by his friend and biographer Dr. John Watson. An excellent introduction if (by some incomprehensible concatenation of events) you’ve never read a Holmes tale.
