Speckled Band (English Easy Readers)

The entire series of Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle is now available in large print, using the best practices for senior readers and those who are visually impaired. Each story includes the original Sherlock Holmes mystery as well as a note from the series editor, Craig Stephen Copland, the author of the New Sherlock Holmes Mysteries books. The Adventure of the Speckled Band is one of the most memorable, most anthologized, and best remembered tales of Sherlock Holmes. Why? It is highly Gothic, with a creepy old house, a helpless maiden in a nightgown dying while screaming in terror, a very evil step-father, and hints of nasty supernatural forces. It is as close to horror porn as could be published in late-Victorian England. These books are great gifts for someone you care about who needs a larger size print to be able to enjoy these wonderful stories.
