Synopsis :

Complete with free audio via QR. This illustrated adaptation for children of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes is perfect for young fans of mystery and detective books and a great introduction to classics for kids aged 7+. Seven years ago a disturbing incident took place in the village of Abbas Parva. Mr Ronder, owner of Ronder's Wild Animals Show, met his end after an escaped lion attacked him. Holmes is confronted with an old mystery when he is summoned to visit a lady who refuses to show her face. A grisly crime committed seven years ago has had terrible consequences, and it is up to Holmes to save the veiled lodger from her own conscience.

À propos de l?auteur: Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a British writer best known for his detective fiction featuring the character Sherlock Holmes. Doyle was a prolific writer; his non-Sherlockian works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction and historical novels.

Stephanie was born in England before emigrating to Australia - and later New Zealand - with her family, where she trained as a nurse. Whilst back in England on holiday, she met and married her husband, had a daughter and settled down. Stephanie's lifelong interest in writing became more serious when her first children's book, Avalanche, was published in the 1980s. Since then, she has had around forty children's books published, and has also published an historical novella for adults.
