Here in one recording is every Sherlock Holmes story ever written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Originally appearing in serial form, these famous stories are here presented in the order in which they were first published beginning in 1887.

Included in this definitive, award-winning collection are four novels and 56 short stories, a total of 60 titles. The 56 short stories are aggregated into five named collections, just as they were originally published in book form.

The contents of this recording are presented by date of publication as follows:

1. A Study in Scarlett (novel – 1887) 4 hours, 45 minutes
2. The Sign of Four (novel – 1890) 4 hours, 39 minutes

9. The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes (12 short stories – 1921-1927) 9 hours

Notes:
- Does not include PDF index of chapters that accompanied the original audiobook.

- I added chapters for the opening and end credits, as these were not originally included in the audiobook.

- This listing replaces an earlier listing I uploaded and corrects some errors in the original source file such as a few typos (e.g. the incorrect “The Greek Entrepreneur” instead of the correct “The Greek Interpreter”, “Homes” instead of “Holmes”, etc.), mis-labeled chapter names (”A Study In Scarlet: Part II” instead of “The Sign of Four”), and makes minor adjustments to the timing of chapter markers. Thanks to nexus54 for identifying one of these issues, which prompted me to go through the metadata more thoroughly.

- The audiobook is categorized into three volumes, with several stories having multiple parts (e.g. “The Study In Scarlet: Part II”). I added chapter markers indicating the start of each volume and part.

- Since chapter numbering starts over at 1 in each part, I updated chapter markers to include the part, where relevant, such as “The Valley of Fear: Part II, Chapter 5″ for clarity.
