Description
This edition of the Adventures lacks a table of contents and copyright notice, has a printed dedication to Conan Doyle’s medical school professor Joseph Bell, who inspired many traits attributed to Sherlock Holmes, and contains an amusing misprint, showing a character’s name as “Violent Hunter” instead of “Violet Hunter.” Bruce was the Watson in many films with Basil Rathbone.
