The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes VI includes The Final Problem, perhaps the greatest of the short stories of Sherlock Holmes. The English detective encounters his most formidable rival, Professor Moriarty and moves to the ultimate confrontation at the Reichenbach Falls.

This is the poignant and compelling story of perhaps the most naturally gifted musical genius of all time. Copiously illustrated with examples of his music, it tells of Mozart's extraordinary childhood travelling the courts of Europe, and of how, after a brief period of fame in Vienna, his fortunes declined until his early death.

The horrors of the Spanish Inquisition, with its dungeon of death, and the overhanging gloom on the House of Usher demonstrate unforgettably the unique imagination of Edgar Allan Poe. Unerringly, he touches upon some of our greatest nightmares - premature burial, ghostly transformation, words from beyond the grave.

The Diary of Samuel Pepys is perhaps the most well known collection of reminiscences. He maintained it, in secrecy, from 1660, the year of the Restoration, until 1669 when blindness prevented his daily labours. Though it covers less than a decade, it offers a lively and detailed insight into a period and a personality.

Gregor Samsa, a seemingly typical man, wakes up one morning to discover he has been transformed into a gigantic insect. Samsa's plight is filled with underlying meaning. This important literary work, written against the backdrop of turmoil in central Europe, remains an extraordinary tale of imagination and a disturbing allegory.
