Ah... gaze upon the beauty of this cover. It's another one of my Penguin Clothbound Classics and it is beautiful (also perfectly proportioned to fit into my handbag). This is obviously a story that is very familiar and now part of popular culture, but it is a story that I have never actually read before. In fact I don't think that I have ever read a Sherlock Holmes adventure before. I was surprised at how much of the story went by with SH not being present given that this is one of his most famous cases! Anyway, I enjoyed reading this book and the pace at which the adventure unfolds over the 160 pages or so. Not much was a surprise in this story for the reasons mentioned above but it was an enjoyable read nonetheless.
