The Denarian Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Volume Two

The early cases of SHERLOCK HOLMES in his youth! When you hear the name SHERLOCK HOLMES, you immediately think of a striking intellect, a man who can look beyond the obvious and observe the things that others don’t even notice; able to solve the most complex crimes that leave Scotland Yard in the shadows. But how did he come to have these powers that made him stand out above everyone else? What did he experience in his youth and young adulthood that shaped the man who we all love, and who criminals fear? In this two-volume collection, discover a young Sherlock Holmes from the ages of 10 through 19, coming to terms with his own insatiable curiosity. Mysteries involving schoolyard bullies, weekend astronomers, circus performers and gypsies abound, as Holmes accompanies his brother Mycroft on diplomatic missions, uncovers deadly schemes, and does his very best to survive the Victorian era's school system.
