DESCRIPTION

For over 130 years, the world has been enraptured by the stoic, ephemeral genius of the world’s greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes. Created by British author Arthur Conan Doyle in 1887, Holmes has sparked the imagination of generations of fans around the world through four novels and 56 short stories. He has been the subject of countless adaptations and portrayals. Guinness World Records lists him as the most portrayed literary human character in film and television history. The name Sherlock Holmes sparks recognition from nearly every person on Earth. Holmes first appeared in the 1887 detective novel “A Study in Scarlet,” which met very little fanfare until the character found more widespread popularity through his serialized short stories in The Strand Magazine. That first adventure recounts the first meeting of Holmes and the man who would become his stalwart partner against crime, Dr. John Watson.

In 1907, Author Maurice Leblanc released the first collection of stories recounting the adventures of Arsene Lupin, a charming thief and master of disguises. The character became quite popular, featured in 17 novels and 39 novellas, inspiring generations of charming anti-heroes to follow. This brand new edition of the first Arsene Lupin novel is beautifully illustrated by artist Vincent Mallie, capturing the joyful style of an animated feature as if created by renowned director Hayao Miyazaki (whose first directorial release was LUPIN THE 3rd: The Castle of Cagliostro, which is filled with nods to Leblanc's classic character).

Illustrated by Vincent Mallie, these two classic novels are contained in a lush linen textured slipcase with foil design elements. LIMITED EDITION!
