What is the title of the first short-story collection about Sherlock Holmes?

The first short-story collection about Sherlock Holmes is The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

Arthur Conan Doyle’s collection was published in 1892 and brought together twelve stories originally printed in The Strand Magazine. It helped make Holmes a major international literary celebrity and established the familiar format of Watson recounting individual cases.

The volume includes “A Scandal in Bohemia,” “The Red-Headed League,” “The Blue Carbuncle,” and “The Speckled Band.” These stories show Holmes solving problems involving royal secrets, fraud, theft, family danger, and apparent supernatural threats.

The title is often confused with later collections. The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes followed in 1894, while The Return of Sherlock Holmes collected stories written after Doyle revived the character. The Adventures is not a novel; it is a sequence of twelve linked but largely self-contained cases narrated mainly by Watson.
