The Man with the Twisted Lip (Electronic book text, Annotated edition)

,
Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes is perhaps the world's most famous detective. The 'Focus on Sherlock Holmes' series is devoted to bringing the books to an even wider audience.

Some of the author's phrases are still in use in modern-day British English and these are described to make the text clearer to English speakers from outside of the UK, or to those who do not speak English as a first language.
