Purchase 'Mr Doyle's Class Presents A Study in Scarlet'

A Study in Scarlet is the very first of the Sherlock stories and is now 132 years old! We have one of the very few original Beeton's Christmas Annuals in our Collection, and it was written in our wonderful city, Portsmouth, while Sir Arthur Conan Doyle practised as a doctor.

Now, to keep the character alive for younger audiences, we have a brand new graphic novel created by the talented trio Russell Olson, Matthew Hardy and Robin Jones. They have transformed the story and characters into a true work of art. The book is suitable for all ages, but was written with Key Stage 2 readers in mind.

More information about the project can be found here.
