	His Last Bow (story) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His Last Bow, one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of eight stories in the cycle collected as His Last Bow.
		The story is the last chronological instalment of the series, though yet another collection (The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes), set before the story, was published four years later.
		Fortunately for his and Doyle's reputation, this was not truly his "Last Bow"; the stories collected in The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes would follow.

	His Last Bow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His Last Bow is a collection of Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, as well as the title of one of the stories in that collection.
		Indeed, the first seven stories in the collection were originally grouped under the title Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes before the late addition of His Last Bow, a story told in the third person and detailing an aged Holmes' anti-German activities in the years leading up to the outbreak of hostilities in 1914.
		Subtitled "The War Service of Sherlock Holmes", there is considerable evidence to suggest that Doyle intended the story to be his last Holmes effort, and that the publication of this collection was meant as a rounding-up of all previously uncollected material to allow the author to concentrate on other projects closer to his heart.

	HIS LAST BOW - Sumner & Stillman
		The previous collections were THE ADVENTURES..., THE MEMOIRS..., and THE RETURN OF SHERLOCK HOLMES; the present volume was not in fact "his last bow," as it was followed in 1927 by the fifth and last, THE CASE-BOOK OF SHERLOCK HOLMES.
		HIS LAST BOW contains eight adventures, including those of "the Wisteria Lodge" and "the Cardboard Box" (which had been excluded from the English edition of THE MEMOIRS in 1894).
		It also includes "His Last Bow," in which Holmes comes out of semi-retirement as a wartime undercover agent and breaks up a German espionage ring.

		From the macabre and murderous "The Devil's Foot" to the strange case of "The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax," the six stories that comprise His Last Bow seem darker and more disturbing than Conan Doyle's previous Sherlock Holmes works.
		It may not match the brilliance and popularity of the first three collections ("The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", "The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes" and "The Return of Sherlock Holmes"), but it's not far behind, and Holmes fans will find every one of the eight stories of "His Last Bow" most enjoyable.
		With World War I approaching he backs up on this determination and his return into action is narrated in "His Last Bow." The cases range from theft, burglary, kidnapping, to murder, and in all of the them Sherlock Holmes is a master in the science of deduction and analysis.

		That last is a favourite of mine, featuring as it does fog, espionage, the London Underground, Brother Mycroft, Inspector Lestrade, and Holmes and Watson on their best form.
		My one quibble with this set is that, in ‘His Last Bow’, Von Herling and Von Bork speak to each other in German-accented English, a cliché that has, perhaps, had its day.
