Traditionally, the canon of Sherlock Holmes consists of the 56 short stories and 4 novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Holmes fans appear to have been the first group to use the term "canon" in this way, distinguishing between Doyle's original works and subsequent works by other authors using the same characters.

A Study in Scarlet
One of the four novels within the sixty episodes of the Sherlock Holmes canon, A Study in Scarlet(1877) marked the debut of Holmes and his assistant, Dr. Watson.

very very very exellent

I'm glad this is on here. The only other copy I found was being read by a southern accented American female. I don't mean to be offensive but I found the slight southern drawl completely contrary to my idea of Watson reading. It is pleasing that these are still as popular as ever.

Study in Scarlet was published in 1887, not 1877.

Hawkings got something wrong!!!

@ChiaraMichela Well said-JB leaves the others in the halfpenny place!

I would love it if someone tried to do a film or TV adaptation of A Study In Scarlet, although I'm not sure how anyone could do a straight adaptation of the second part of the story

set in America "The Country Of The Saints" with it's un PC over the top depiction of the Mormon religion (to put it mildly) without offending just about anyone of the Mormon faith, that would be interesting to see; to say the least IMHO.

Jeremy Brett unfortunately didn't live enough...to act this episode of Sherlock Holmes...when he suddenly died...in 1995..

He will remain in Movies History as the best SH ever..... <3

RIP JB
