Return of Sherlock Holmes (Deseret Alphabet edition)

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a Scottish physician and writer. Although he wrote a number of series, such as his Professor Challenger stories, he is by far best known as the creator of Sherlock Holmes. In later life he gained notoriety for his belief in spiritualism and the Cottingley Fairies. "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" is the third anthology of Sherlock Holmes short stories and begins with Holmes' miraculous return after apparently dying with Professor Moriarty at Reichenbach Falls. In all, the anthology provides a full baker's dozen tales of Holmes' uncanny deductive powers as recounted by his loyal friend, Dr. Watson. This book is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for writing English developed in the mid-19th century at the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah).
