Overview: The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes is the final set of twelve (out of a total of fifty-six) Sherlock Holmes short stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle first published in the Strand Magazine between October 1921 and April 1927. In the United States, two of the short stories from The Case-Book, "The Adventure of the Veiled Lodger" and "The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place", are the last two Sherlock Holmes works by Doyle to enter the public domain on 1 January 2023, the year after the 95th anniversary of the stories' publication. The copyrights expired in 1980 in the United Kingdom and Canada. The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes collection currently consists of 10 episodes née 8 chapters: B9E0 - Preface, B9E1 - The Adventure of the Illustrious Client - Part 1, B9E2 - The Adventure of the Illustrious Client - Part 2, B9E3 - The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier, B9E4 - The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone, B9E5 - The Adventure of the Three Gables, B9E6 - The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire, B9E7 - The Adventure of the Three Garridebs, B9E8 - The Problem of Thor Bridge - Part 1, B9E9 - The Problem of Thor Bridge - Part 2, and B9E10 - The Adventure of the Creeping Man. Narration is pending for episodes née chapters 9 - 12 which have recently entered the public domain and are currently unavailable to listen to, but are included as placeholders here for completeness' sake until the recordings are available to be added to this collection: B9E11 - The Adventure of the Lion's Mane, B9E12 - The Adventure of the Veiled Lodger, B9E13 - The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place, and B9E14 - The Adventure of the Retired Colourman. Please note Racial Language particularly in "The Adventure of the Three Gables" includes explicit content and language which, though normal for the time it was written, is now regarded as highly unacceptable racial slurs, and anyone who finds this too offensive may wish to omit this story.

Preface of the casebook of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle this leg armas recording may be distributed and
adapted freely for any purpose recording, by Ruth Golding
preface. I fear that mr.
Sherlock Holmes, may become likeone of those popular Tenors who
(00:22):
having outlived their time are still tempted to make repeated
farewell boughs to their indulgent audiences.
So this must cease and he must go the way of All Flesh,
material, or imaginary. One likes to think that there is
some fantastic limbo for the children of imagination.
(00:45):
Some strange impossible place where the bows are Fielding may
still make love to the bells of Richardson where Scott's Heroes
still May strapped. Dickens's delightful cockneys
still raise a laugh. And Sakura's worldlings continue
to carry on their reprehensible careers, perhaps in some humble
(01:08):
corner of such a Valhalla Sherlock.
And his Watson May for a Time find the place while some more
astute sleuth with some even less.
Astute, comrade may fill the stage which they have vacated.
His career has been a long one. So it is possible to exaggerate
(01:28):
it decrepit. Gentleman, who approached me and
declare that his adventures formed, the reading of their
Boyhood to not meet the responsefrom me, which they seem to
expect one is not anxious to have one's personal dates,
handled. So unkindly.
As a matter of Cold Fact Holmes made his debut in a study in
(01:50):
scarlet and in the sign of four,two small booklets, which
appeared between 1887 and 1889. It was in 1891 that a scandal in
Bohemia. The first of the long series of
short stories appeared in the Strand magazine.
The public seemed appreciative and desirous of more.
(02:12):
So that from that date, Is it go?
They have been produced in a broken series which now contains
no fewer than 56 stories. Republished in the adventures,
the Memoirs, the return, and hislast bow and there remained
these 12 published during the last few years, which are here
(02:33):
produced under the title of the casebook of Sherlock Holmes.
He began his adventures in the very heart of the later.
Victorian-era carried it throughthe All Too Short, reign of
Edward and has managed to hold his own little niche, even in
these feverish days. Thus, it would be true to say
(02:54):
that those who first read of himas young men have lived to see
their own grown-up children following the same adventures in
the same magazine. It is a striking example of the
patience and loyalty of the British public.
I had fully determined at the conclusion of the Memoirs to
bring homes to an end. As I felt that my literary
(03:16):
energy should not be directed too much into one channel.
That pale clear-cut face and loose-limbed, figure were taking
up an undue share of my imagination.
I did the deed, but fortunately,no.
Coroner had pronounced upon the remains and so after a long
(03:37):
interval, it was not difficult for me to respond to the
flattering demand and to explainmy rash act away.
I have never regretted it for I have not in actual practice.
Found these lighter sketches have prevented me from exploring
and finding my limitations in such varied branches of
(03:58):
literature as history. Poetry historical, novels
psychic research and the drama had homes, never existed.
I could not have done more, though.
He may, perhaps have stood a little, in the way of the
recognition of my more serious literary work.
And so reader farewell to Sherlock Holmes.
(04:20):
I thank you for your past constancy and can, but hope that
some return has been made in theshape of that, distraction from
the worries of life, and stimulating change of thought,
which can only be found in the fairy kingdom of romance.
