Is that actual text from one of the stories? Wow. That's... completely unlike any other Victorian literature I've ever read (usually can't stand the stuff).

Might have to consider checking these books out now.

They're fun. And a bit tongue in cheek. I like all the stories. YMMV but ACD isn't as retro to modern tastes as many other Victorian writers.

I hate to use it as a way to hook people in, but... if you're a Holmes/Watson fan then definitely start with either 'The Three Garidebs' or 'The Adventure of the Devil's Foot'.

Yep, actual text. It really isn't that difficult, I think people have a weird mental block because it's Victorian and readers assume it'll be this horrible, dense prose where the writer spends paragraphs talking about someone's outfit. It really isn't. Good luck if you decide to read the stories!

It's very clean prose, when compared to other Victorian writers, as others in the thread have pointed out. Enjoy!
