The Stockbroker's Clerk

The Sherlock Holmes Children's Collection #19

by Stephanie Baudet (Adapted by), Arianna Bellucci (Illustrations)

I am perfectly willing to act as business manager to the Franco-Midland Hardware Company, Limited, at a minimum salary of �500. - Mr Hall Pycroft. Hall Pycroft is a simple man, looking for a simple job. But working for the Pinner brothers is certainly not simple. When Pycroft finds himself caught in the middle of a troubling mystery, he turns to the only man he knows can solve it: Sherlock Holmes.

I listened to this one on audiobook because there were issues with trying to get it from my local library. A man is about to take a new job when someone gives him an offer that is too good to refuse... but also too good to be true.

Great retelling for kids. It is a simple, quick read, but keeps much of the language and feeling of the original.
