He was created by the famous and talented Scottish writer Arthur Conan Doyle. He was arguably the first-ever consulting detective. Since his creation, Holmes has remained one of the most profound and recognisable characters in the detective world and genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHolmes first appeared in the novel \u003cem\u003eA Study in Scarlet\u003c\/em\u003e, published in 1887.  In the books, Holmes investigates complicated cases during the era of Victorian and Edwardian London. Only he can solve the mysteries that baffle the people in the city. The personality and characteristics of Sherlock Holmes were derived from the author’s professor called Dr Joseph Bell, who was a professor at the University of Edinburgh. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHolmes would solve many highly complex problems and challenging cases, all recorded by his trusted partner and friend, Dr John H Watson. They pursue the mind-bending cases together. Even though Holmes’ ability to solve problems seems perplexing and challenging to grasp, he has a straightforward approach to his objectives. “When you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHolmes is described as a tall, thin, dark man with a high nose, strong eyes, and angled shoulders. Watson often describes Holmes as a depressing and weird individual with odd traits. Holmes is often moody and untidy, yet he has a strict manner in many cases. However, he is exceptionally talented and very particular in his deduction. Though Holmes displays a very cold-hearted attitude towards people, he becomes lively and even described as overly obsessed when solving cases. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHolmes possesses diverse expertise, including Chemistry, Human Anatomy, Sensational Literature, Geology and Martial Arts. Holmes is proficient at forensic science and logical thinking and often prefers to take the intellectual road. However, he’s also an adept swordsman, stickman, and pugilist when the situation calls for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHolmes plays the violin and has the habit of using drugs like morphine and cocaine, both legal during 19th century England. Holmes’ odd obsession with crime-solving and weird habits meant that he would often skip several days of meals. During some cases, this extended to the point of dangerous effects on his health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the authors\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eSir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh on 22 May 1859. He trained as a doctor and worked as a surgeon and a medical practitioner. He was an unsuccessful doctor but became a prolific and successful writer. His most enduring creation is Sherlock Holmes. The first two novels were well-received, but the character became a phenomenon only with his appearances in \u003cem\u003eThe Strand\u003c\/em\u003e magazine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConan Doyle had created the character Sherlock Holmes based on his University professor Dr Joseph Bell at the University of Edinburgh Medical School. The fundamental similarity is his miraculous ability to collect crucial information and evidence from his natural observation, analytical skills, and reasoning talent. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the success of Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle wanted to end the series by killing off the character in hopes that he could prioritise other writing ideas he had at the time. However, the public and fans who were die-hard followers of his work at the time made a massive commotion that pressured \u003cspan\u003eConan Doyle \u003c\/span\u003eto revive Sherlock Holmes. Conan also wrote many other titles, such as \u003cem\u003eThe Lost World\u003c\/em\u003e, and several other non-fiction books. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStephanie Baudet was born in Cheshire and grew up in the Antipodes.

But when the sophisticated Crawford's move into the neighbourhood, even Edmund falls under their spell, and Fanny finds herself more alone than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSense and Sensibility\u003cbr\u003e“Know your own happiness.

'Young women who have no economic or political power must attend to the serious business of contriving material security'. Jane Austen's sardonic humour lays bare the stratagems, the hypocrisy and the poignancy inherent in the struggle of two very different sisters to achieve respectability. Sense and Sensibility is a delightful comedy of manners in which the sisters Elinor and Marianne represent these two qualities. Elinor's character is one of Augustan detachment, while Marianne, a fervent disciple of the Romantic Age, learns to curb her passionate nature in the interests of survival. This book, the first of Austen's novels to be published, remains as fresh a cautionary tale today as it ever was.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePride and Prejudice: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIntroduction and Notes by Dr Ian Littlewood, University of Sussex. Pride and Prejudice, which opens with one of the most famous sentences in English Literature, is an ironic novel of manners. In it the garrulous and empty-headed Mrs Bennet has only one aim - that of finding a good match for each of her five daughters. In this she is mocked by her cynical and indolent husband. With its wit, its social precision and, above all, its irresistible heroine, Pride and Prejudice has proved one of the most enduringly popular novels in the English language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePersuasion: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIntroduction and Notes by Elaine Jordan, Reader in Literature, University of Essex. What does persuasion mean - a firm belief, or the action of persuading someone to think something else? Anne Elliot is one of Austen's quietest heroines, but also one of the strongest and the most open to change. She lives at the time of the Napoleonic wars, a time of accident, adventure, the making of new fortunes and alliances. A woman of no importance, she manoeuvres in her restricted circumstances as her long-time love Captain Wentworth did in the wars. Even though she is nearly thirty, well past the sell-by bloom of youth, Austen makes her win out for herself and for others like herself, in a regenerated society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNorthanger Abbey: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIntroduction and Notes by David Blair, University of Kent. Northanger Abbey tells the story of a young girl, Catherine Morland who leaves her sheltered, rural home to enter the busy, sophisticated world of Bath in the late 1790s. Austen observes with insight and humour the interaction between Catherine and the various characters whom she meets there, and tracks her growing understanding of the world about her. In this, her first full-length novel, Austen also fixes her sharp, ironic gaze on other kinds of contemporary novel, especially the Gothic school made famous by Ann Radcliffe. Catherine's reading becomes intertwined with her social and romantic adventures, adding to the uncertainties and embarrassments she must undergo before finding happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMansfield Park: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIntroduction and Notes by Dr Ian Littlewood, University of Sussex. Adultery is not a typical Jane Austen theme, but when it disturbs the relatively peaceful household at Mansfield Park, it has quite unexpected results. The diffident and much put-upon heroine Fanny Price has to struggle to cope with the results, re-examining her own feelings while enduring the cheerful amorality, old-fashioned indifference and priggish disapproval of those around her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLady Susan and Other Works: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWith an Introduction, explanatory notes, and annotated bibliography by Nicholas Seager. This collection brings together Jane Austen's earliest experiments in the art of fiction and novels that she left incomplete at the time of her premature death in 1817. Her fragmentary juvenilia show Austen developing her own sense of narrative form whilst parodying popular kinds of fiction of her day. Lady Susan is a wickedly funny epistolary novel about a captivating but unscrupulous widow seeking to snare husbands for her daughter and herself. The Watsons explores themes of family relationships, the marriage market, and attitudes to rank, which became the hallmarks of her major novels. In Sanditon, Austen exercises her acute powers of social observation in the setting of a newly fashionable seaside resort. These novels are here joined by shorter fictions that survive in Austen's manuscripts, including critically acclaimed works like Catharine, Love and Freindship [sic], and The History of England.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEmma: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWith an Introduction and Notes by Dr Nicola Bradbury, University of Reading. Jane Austen teased readers with the idea of a 'heroine whom no one but myself will much like', but Emma is irresistible. 'Handsome, clever, and rich', Emma is also an 'imaginist', 'on fire with speculation and foresight'. She sees the signs of romance all around her, but thinks she will never be married. Her matchmaking maps out relationships that Jane Austen ironically tweaks into a clearer perspective. Judgement and imagination are matched in games the reader too can enjoy, and the end is a triumph of understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"goodreadr\" data-isbn=\"9781840227482\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wordsworth Editions Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32821126201443,"sku":"B2D2935","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/6874\/1219\/products\/young-adult-jane-austen-wordsworth-7-books-young-adult-paperback-1.jpg?v=1633753176"},{"product_id":"the-art-of-war-7-books-collection-arcturus-collectors-classics-adult-hardback-sun-tzu-wu-qi-li-jing","title":"The Art of War 7 Books Collection By Sun Tzu,  Wu Qi \u0026 Li Jing - Non Fiction - Hardback","description":"\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" id=\"iframeContent\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitles in This Set:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Art of War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWuzi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWei Liaozi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaigong's Six Secret Teachings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Methods of the Sima\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Strategies of Huang Shigong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuestions and Replies Between Emperor Taizong of Tang and General Li Jing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten between 500 BCE and 700 CE, these texts have inspired generals for millennia, both in China and the wider world.

Written and published first by Antoine de St-Exupery in 1943, only a year before his plane disappeared on a reconnaissance flight, it is one of the world's most widely translated books, enjoyed by adults and children alike. In the meeting of the narrator who has ditched his plane in the Sahara desert, and the little prince, who has dropped there through time and space from his tiny asteroid, comes an intersection of two worlds, the one governed by the laws of nature, and the other determined only by the limits of imagination. The world of the imagination wins hands down, with the concerns of the adult world often shown to be lamentably silly as seen through the eyes of the little prince. While adult readers can find deep meanings in his various encounters, they can also be charmed back to childhood by this wise but innocent infant.   This popular translation contains the author's own delightful illustrations, bringing to visual life the small being at the tale's heart, and a world of fantasy far removed from any quotidian reality. It is also a sort of love story, in which two frail beings, the downed pilot and the wandering infant-prince who has left behind all he knows, share their short time together isolated from humanity and finding sustenance in each other.

The story is told in the first person by young Jim Hawkins, whose mother keeps the Admiral Benbow Inn. An old seadog, a resident at the inn, hires Jim to keep a watch out for other sailors whom he fears but, despite all precautions, the old man is served with the black spot which means death. Among the dead man's belongings Jim discovers a map showing the location of the buried treasure of the notorious pirate Captain Flint. It is not long before he, along with Doctor Livesey and Squire Trelawney, sets sail to find the treasure. However, amongst the hired hands is the one-legged Long John Silver who has designs on the treasure for himself.   The continuing fascination with this tale of high drama, buried treasure and treachery bears out what Stevenson wrote about the book to his friend W. E. Henley: 'if this don't fetch the kids, why, they have gone rotten since my day.'
