Book Description

The Sign of the four is a collection of 12 stories, originally published in 1903–1904, by British writer Arthur Conan Doyle. If we consider the characteristics of the main character Sherlock Holmes, then we can see he is a sharp‐witted man with a reputation for his excellent powers of deduction. A highly rational person who does not approve of emotions. Dr John Watson is the narrator of the story, he adds human feelings to the events. He falls in love with Mary and asks her to marry him. In it the detective and his companion Dr Watson untangle a mystery of hidden treasure and murder. Miss Mary Morstan arrives at 221B, Baker Street to request help with the mystery of her missing father, her anonymous gifts of pearls and a letter requesting her to meet an unknown person that evening. Holmes takes on her case and the adventure begins. Watson narrates the tale that sees the detective tracking down hidden treasure and murderers. By the end of the story the criminals are either dead or arrested, and Miss Mary Morstan and Watson are engaged to be married.
