The hit BBC series Sherlock, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, offers a fresh, contemporary take on the classic Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stories, and has helped introduce a whole new generation of fans to the legendary detective. In this new edition of Conan Doyle's first collection of short stories, Sherlock co-creator Mark Gatiss explains how these gripping tales inspired and influenced the new series. Sherlock: The Adventures contains twelve short stories first published in The Strand magazine between 1891 and 1892 and then published as a collection in October 1892. It includes some of Conan Doyle's best tales of murder and mystery, such as 'The Adventures of the Speckled Band', in which the strange last words of a dying woman 'It was the band, the speckled band!' and an inexplicable whistling in the night are the only clues Sherlock Holmes has to prevent another murder; and 'The Five Orange Pips', in which an untimely death and the discovery of the letter containing five orange pips lead to a cross-Atlantic conspiracy.

Two Households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona , where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life ; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Doth with their death bury their parents'strife. [...] Deux anciennes Maisons d'égale dignité Dans la belle Vérone où se tient notre scène Font un nouvel éclat de leur antique hargne, Le sang civil salit les mains des citoyens. Or dans le sein fatal de ces deux ennemis Deux amants prennent vie sous la mauvaise étoile ; Leur malheureux écroulement très pitoyable Enterre en leur tombeau la haine des parents. Les terribles moments de leur amour mortel Et l'obstination des rages familiales Que rien sinon la mort des deux enfants n'apaisera, Pendant deux heures nous le jouerons sur ce théâtre ; Et si vous nous prêtez une patiente oreille, Tout défaut, notre zèle le rachètera.
