A while back I bought some books at a library sale and this book was one of them. I am familiar with Sherlock Holmes probably because of my parents I vaguely remember a TV show or something and then after reading the Beehives Keeper a while back for bookclub but I have never actually read any until this book. I enjoyed the 2 short stories. They were a lot of fun. I especially liked the clues a the end of each story to help you see how the mystery was solved. These will be great stories to do with my kids to get them to pay attention to details. I haven't looked yet but I wonder if these are in print anymore or how I can get a hold of some more for my ever growing library.
