The novel was originally published by Oxford University Press, Great Clarendon Street in 2002. But the book I read is published by Foreign Language And Research Press in the Peoples Republic of China in 2003. The book I read has 66 pages.Main Contents The story is about how Sherlock Holmes works on the mysterious cases. The writer wrote the story of Sherlock Holmes in his friends voice.His friend was named Watson. Duke of Holderness was one of the greatest and the richest men. But his family was not very happy. The Duchess didnt live with Duke. She left Duke for Paris. However his son loved his mother and was very unhappy when his mother left. Because of this, the Duke sent him to Dr Huxtables school. But on the night of the 13th of May the young Arthur disappeared. The Duke was very worried. The Duke promised to offer five thousand pounds for the news of his son, and another one thousand pounds for the name of his kidnapper. Sherlock Holmes was a famous detective so they asked Holmes for help.Holmes and Watson went to Dr Huxtables school. At the same time they got the worse news that Heidgger, the German teacher was missing, too. Holmes began to ask something about the boy and the German teacher. At last he determined to go off to the north with Dr Huxtable to find some answers to this mystery. They arrived at Dr Huxtables famous school in the northern hills. They met the Duke. Holmes asked the Duke something about the case. Then at once Holmes began to work carefully to investigate the boys bedroom and the German teachers room. They looked at the ivy on the wall and they saw the footprints under the German teachers window.But they learned about nothing. Holmes and Watson analysised the case when Dr Huxtable brought the boys hat. Dr Huxtable said that he found it at north of Ragged Shaw,so they determined to walk north,across the moor.The next day they moved slowly across the moor, looking at every centimeter of mud. At last they found the track of a bicycle. After assisting the track of a bicycle Holmes knew the bicycle was not Heidggers. Then he found the right track. Suddenly the track stopped. He found some blood. Following the blood, he found much blood. Behind a bush they saw a shoe and found a body. But they still couldnt who is the Crime.Watson was a little discouraged. Holmes said every mystery had an answer. They found tyre again. However, the Palmer Tyre can tell them nothing more, so they must go back to the Dunlop Tyre.They found the Dunlop track again and lost it again. They walked down to the Chesterfiled road and along to the Green Man Inn. Holmes found something from Hayess words, behaviors and his horses when they arrived at Hayess house. They found James Wilder, the Dukes secretary came into Hayess house and Hayes escaped. The next day the answers were obvious. Holmes was surprised about the answers. I was surprised, too. James was Dukes elder son. James hated Duchess because she was not his mother. James hated Arthur because Arthur had everything that James never could have.And because of this, Duke sent Author to Dr Huxtables school. James asked Hayes for help to catch Arthur. James made the most of it that Arthur missed his mother. He cheated Arthur and let him go to the Green Man. When Arthur left the school, the German teacher found him. It was Hayes who killed him because Hayes let his deed out. All the mysteries were clear. Arthur and Duchess would return home. James was leaving for Australia. Sherlock Holmes got twelve thousand pounds and began to work the next case. The story was over. Excellent episodes1. When visitors came to see Sherlock Holmes in Baker Street, they often did surprising things, Sometimes they put their heads in their hands and cried. Sometimes they talked and talked, and couldnt stop. And sometimes they just sat there and didnt say a word. But nobody was more surprising than Dr Huxtable.2. We moved slowly across the moor, looking at every centimeter of mud. We found hundreds of sheep tracks,and some cow tracksbut no bicycle tracks. And then at last we found something. Not far form the little river,right across some nice black mud, was the track of a bicycle.3. Because the ride sits over the back wheel. The deeper track is the one on top, so this bicycle went that way, across the moor away from the school. But who was the rider? Where did he come from?4. Heidegger died eight kilometers from the school. So the boy is moving very fast, because it is eight kilometers before a man on a bicycle can get near him. And Heidegger died because someone hit him very hard on the head. A boy cant do that, so there was someone with the boya man,lets say.5. When I was a young man, Mr Holmes, I was in love- oh, so much in love. It only happened to you once, and this woman was the love of my life. I wanted her to be my wifebut she died. She left me this one child, and I loved him because of her. When I look in his face, I see her, and remember her, and cant stop loving her. I must have the boy near me because of this. But a government minister cannot tell the world about a lovechild like this. So, to the world, James is my young secretary,not my son.ReflectionReading this fiction, I was completely immersed in the mysterious story presented by the book.

As it is known to all, clear description is necessary to detective stories since it can help the readers to understand each figures characteristics and all the cases, thus making the story more attractive. Watson was Sherlock Homess friend.And the novel was told to Watsontone. Sherlock Homes was wise and clever. Watson was lucky to have so wise a friend. They have the valuable friendship. When Homes handled a case, Watson helped him much. I think Watson could learn much from Homes. I think if you have virtuous friends, we can improve ourselves, or we will change our good nature. So I envy Watson because he had so good and wise a friend. Sherlock Homes was not a real person. However, Sherlock Homes had became the representative of wisdom. We all envy Sherlock Homes because of his wisdom and high abilities. Whether the case was mysterious, Homes could found its answer. I like the words that Homes said. That was every mystery had its answer. Right! So when we have puzzles, we shouldnt give up. Maybe Sherlock Homes was every one. I think every one has the
