The School Library includes two of Conan Doyle's best and favourite stories about the adventures of the eccentric but brilliant Sherlock Holmes.
The Redheaded Society tells how a red-haired man named Jabez Wilson unexpectedly received a surprisingly easy and lucrative job from the Redheaded Society, as he was explained, because of the unique shade of his hair. For several weeks, Jabez Wilson came to work in a small, isolated office and spent several hours a day rewriting the Encyclopaedia Britannica. But one day, he saw an announcement that the Redheads' Union had collapsed and that the sinecure was no more.
Wilson asks Holmes to help him understand this strange story and find out what happened.
In The Motley Fringe, Ellen Stoner turns to Sherlock Holmes for help. She said that a few years ago, just two weeks before her wedding, her sister Julia died under mysterious circumstances. Before she died, Julia only managed to whisper: «A colourful ribbon». And now Ellen is about to get married, and at night she also hears (like her late sister) a soft whistle. Stoner feels that something strange and terrible is happening, so he asks Holmes for help.
