Die übernatürlichen Fälle des Sherlock Holmes (Band 1) : Während die meisten Abenteuer von Sherlock Holmes durch die Notizen und Publikationen von Dr. John Watson hinlänglich belegt und bekannt sind, gibt es auch eine gewisse Anzahl an Fällen, die der Öffentlichkeit damals geradezu zwingend vorenthalten werden mussten: Insbesondere im beginnenden 20. Jahrhundert hatte Holmes mit einigen höchst ungewöhnlichen Rätseln zu tun, deren Aufklärung gängige wissenschaftliche Anschauungen und normale irdische Zusammenhänge mitunter sprengten.

Ab 1887 erschienen 60 klassische Schilderungen der berühmten Abenteuer von Sherlock Holmes, fast alle davon als Aufzeichnungen von Holmes' Mitstreiter Dr. John Watson. Mit der Reihe der Originale werden die klassischen Abenteuer von Holmes und Watson, die bereits einem breiten Publikum bekannt wurden, erstmals in ihrer ursprünglichen Version veröffentlicht, inklusive aller Passagen, Handlungsstränge und Dialoge, die seinerzeit der Selbstzensur oder dem Ziel einer erzählerischen Straffung zum Opfer gefallen sind.
