Sherlock Holmes remains one of the most famous film characters, recently portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) and Benedict Cumberbatch (Dr. Strange). However, here The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes contains the first 12 stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, published in Strand Magazine in the 1890s. They establish the distinctive traits of both Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, his faithful companion, whose wide-open observations reveal the antics of the great detective. In stories such as “A Scandal in Bohemia,” “The Red-Headed League,” “The Adventure of the Speckled Band,” and “The Man with the Twisted Lip,” we see the idiosyncratic Holmes with immense deductive power, often called upon because the dull police force cannot solve complex, diplomatic, and sometimes delicate mysteries brought to his door.
Fascinating titles and a very broad range of authors are synonymous with Flame Tree Publishing.
“The aim… is to wipe the dust of everyday life from our souls,” Pablo Picasso.
“Flame Tree Publishing has been sweeping the dust of everyday life away for over twenty years, creating illustrated books since 1992, art calendars since 1998, and illustrated e-books since 2009. Their extensive list includes powerful and eloquent artists such as Erté and Alphonse Mucha, complemented by extensive licenses in their award-winning calendar line, with Tate, V&A, RSC, RA, and many others.”
Thanks to a wide range of authors, editors, and writers—from Vladimir Ashkenazy, Steve Hackett, John Howe, Sir George Martin, Brian May, Paul du Noyer, Paco Peña, Stanley Sadie—the company strives to create illustrated projects that are affordable, useful, and beautiful. In addition to printed titles, their exceptional selection of practical cookbooks, music books, pop culture, and lifestyle titles is increasingly available in digital formats. The producer believes that well-reviewed, thoughtfully curated content should be available in many different formats to meet their readers’ needs.
