The Return of Sherlock Holmes

Arthur Conan Doyle, 1905

DOYLE, Arthur Conan (1859-1930) and PAGET, Sidney, illustrator (1860-1908). The Return of Sherlock Holmes. London: George Newnes, Ltc., 1905.



A sharp and fine copy of the first edition of this third collection of Sherlock Holmes stories. "The author was persuaded to revive Sherlock Holmes by the generous offers made by the proprietors of the American magazine: $25,000 for six stories, $30,000 for eight, or $45,000 for thirteen. No conditions were attached. He replied on a postcard: 'Very well. A.C.D.' Having decided to write a new series, the author took care to preserve the integrity of his fictional character. 'I would not write a Holmes story without a worthy plot, without a problem which interested my own mind, for that is a requisite before you can interest anyone else.'"(Green & Gibson). Green & Gibson A29.



Octavo. Half-title, frontispiece and 15 plates by Sidney Paget, and 4 pp. of ads at rear. Original dark blue cloth gilt (the slightest rubbing to extremities). Custom chemise and quarter morocco slipcase. Provenance: Christie’s New York, 5 December 1996, lot 365.
