Published in 1927 The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes was the concluding volume of Sherlock Holmes adventures. It contains the last 12 of 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written from 1921 to 1927. It is not without interest that some critics have traced the metaphysical elements in some of them signifying a spiritual side of Conan Doyle in his later life. "The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place" was the ultimate Holmes adventure which was published in Liberty, a US magazine, in March 1927. It drew the curtain on the career of the greatest and most loved detective in the fictional world.
About the Author
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was born in Edinburgh, Scotland from where he did his graduation in Medicine in 1881. He had started writing and publishing short stories to some acclaim during his student life but he became widely famous only after the publication of A Study in Scarlet, his first Sherlock Holmes work. Arguably the best crime fiction character ever, Sherlock Holmes practically made Doyle immortal as a writer. Featuring Holmes he wrote 4 novels and 56 short stories. Doyle was a prolific writer and in addition to his Holmes oeuvre he wrote many other novels and short stories. Among them The Lost World is another great work of fiction.
