  Presented here are the final twelve tales (of fifty-six) featuring Sherlock Holmes and John Watson as penned by their creator, the legendary Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. These stories appeared between 1921 and 1927 in The Strand and Liberty Magazines and Collier's Weekly and represent the last time Doyle would set pen to paper to describe the adventures of his greatest characters.   From Holmes' confrontation with the charming and murderously evil Baron Gruner in "The Adventure of the Illustrious Client" to the final case in the official Sherlock Holmes canon: "The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place," wherein Holmes must solve a mystery involving a champion racehorse....and a missing family corpse.   Without question the greatest detective in literary history, these are the final Sherlock Holmes stories created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself and the only stories narrated by Holmes himself!   They are presented here in their original and unabridged format.
