often impossible to do with other versions.” Lisa Ward,

Top tips on effective annotation from English teacher and revision
guide author, Cindy Torn.

“How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated
the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the
truth?”

When Sherlock Holmes is visited by a distressed
young woman one dark and foggy night, he listens intently as
she tells him about the disappearance of her father ten years before
and how, four years after his death, she began to receive a large
and beautiful pearl once a year every year. Now she has a letter
from the person who sent her the pearls: they wish to meet her.
So begins a mysterious adventure involving Holmes, his faithful
sidekick Dr Watson, and the young woman, Mary Marston. Written
by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, this was the second novel to feature
the world-class detective, Sherlock Holmes, and the first to introduce
the character of Miss Marston.
