Arthur Conan Doyle wrote 62 stories of Sherlock
Holmes
The 62 stories includes 4 novels and 58 short
stories. Within the short stories, 56 were serialized in UK / US
magazines and collected in the volumes known as The Adventures of
Sherlock Holmes (x12), The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (x12), The
Return of Sherlock Holmes (x13), His Last Bow (x7) and The
Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes (x12), and two short stories were
