Записки о Шерлоке Холмсе

The stories feel carefully curated, but I'm curious about the process behind selecting these particular memoirs. Did Doyle see them as the most representative of Holmes' character?

The Victorian setting and classic detective work really transported me. I wonder how much Doyle aimed to evoke a sense of timeless justice and intellectual prowess.

The logical leaps and observations are so satisfying but also complex. I wonder if Doyle based Holmes' methods on actual forensic techniques of his time.
