The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his famous detective and illustrated by Sidney Paget. They were originally published in the Strand Magazine from July 1891 to June 1892. The book was published on October 14 1892 by George Newnes Ltd and on October 15 in an U.S. edition by Harper. The initial combined print run was 14,500 copies.

It was banned in the Soviet Union in 1929 for occultism, although the book shows few to no signs of such material. However, later the embargo was lifted.

"A Scandal in Bohemia"
"The Red-Headed League"
"A Case of Identity"
"The Boscombe Valley Mystery"
"The Five Orange Pips"

"The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb"
