With witty and wonderful quotes from the characters in Arthur Conan Doyle's stories, The Wit & Wisdom of Sherlock Holmes makes for a delightful book and thoughtful gift.

'It is a capital mistake to theorize in advance of the facts. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.'
Sherlock Holmes, A Scandal in Bohemia.

'I am the last and highest court of appeal in detection.'
Sherlock Holmes, The Sign of Four.

'When I glanced again his face had resumed that red-Indian composure which had made so many regard him as a machine rather than a man.'
Dr. Watson observing Sherlock Holmes, The Crooked Man.

'How often have I said that when you excluded the impossible whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.'
Sherlock Holmes, The Sign of Four.
