He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are milestones in the field of crime fiction.
Doyle was a prolific writer. In addition to the Holmes stories, his works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger, and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement" (1884), helped to popularise the mystery of the brigantine Mary Celeste, found drifting at sea with no crew member aboard.

The Adventure of the Cardboard Box, Arthur Conan Doyle
The Adventure of the Cardboard Box, is one of the 56 short stories written by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
It is the second of the twelve Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes in most British editions of the canon, and the second of the eight stories from His Last Bow in most American versions. The story was first published in The Strand Magazine in 1893.
Miss Susan Cushing of Croydon receives a parcel in the post that contains two severed human ears packed in coarse salt. Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard suspects a prank by three medical students whom Miss Cushing was forced to evict because of their unruly behaviour. The parcel was sent from Belfast, the city of origin of one of the former boarders. Upon examining the parcel himself, Holmes is convinced that it is evidence of a serious crime.
He reasons that a medical student with access to a dissection laboratory would likely use something other than plain salt to preserve human remains, and would be able to make a more precise cut than the roughly hacked ears suggest. The address on the package, roughly written and with a spelling correction, suggests to Holmes that the sender lacks education and is unfamiliar with Croydon. The knot in the string suggests to Holmes that they are looking for someone with sailing experience.

Evidently this is one of the Sherlock Holmes stories used in the 1990s Jeremy Brett TV miniseries but I don鈥檛 remember it at all. The story revolves around a box delivered to a respectable spinster lady (50 years old). That box has two recently severed human ears in it. I鈥檓 surprised I didn鈥檛 remember that! It could be because the story doesn鈥檛 involve a trip to a country house or an interview of a pretty lady at 221 B Baker St.
Holmes reads a brief story in the daily paper and tells Watson about the woman receiving ears in the mail. Before long, Inspector Lastrade shows up to secure expert help from Holmes and Watson. He merely wants confirmation for his theory that it was a bad joke perpetrated by medical students. Holmes thinks otherwise. The crime is more than a joke and involves a complicated sisterly relationship, adultery and revenge. The fact that it takes place in South London and among working class people at a seaport makes it a little unusual for this series. Once Holmes digs into the facts a little bit it becomes fairly obvious.

The adventures of the cardboard box by sir Arthur Conan Doyle is an excellent story or I must say an excellent short & sweet story with world's best detective Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson.
The story begins by the scene that Sherlock Holmes is laying on the sofa and Dr Watson is lost in thought then Sherlock Holmes is reading something and while reading he told Dr Watson what he ( Watson ) was thinking.
Inspector Lestrade got a case in which Miss Susan Cushing received a parcel and when she opened it, she found two severed human ears.
During investigation she told Lestrade that she suspects three medical students. But when Lestrade found no way to solve the case then he called Sherlock Holmes and asked him to join the case.
Sherlock Holmes did his investigation and found that its a serious crime. With his excellent observations and a few questions to Miss Susan Cushing he was able to solve the case. He wrote something on the paper and give it to Lestrade and requested him that he didn't attach his name in investigation.
Brilliant dialogues with superb characters like Susie, Sarah, Marry and Jim and offcourse Sherlock Holmes and Watson, this is a good read.

Interesting how this story didn't find its place in the early versions of the Memoirs.
The plot is not necessarily the brightest one, but Holmes does a really good job.

When a lady receives a cardboard box in the post, containing two severed human ears, Sherlock Holmes & Doctor Watson leave the oppressive heat of their Baker Street lodgings for another fascinating adventure.
It's always good to revisit a Holmes story, especially one I've not read for a long time. Like most of Conan Doyle's writing the author gives you more entertainment in a short story than others manage in a whole novel.

4 Stars. A different one from Doyle. More like a 'how-the-culprit-did-it,' than a 'who-dun-it.' Short too - just 21 pages. Two severed ears in a carboard box were sent to Miss Susan Cushing. The suspect becomes apparent before the half way mark, and our favourite detective is not reluctant to divulge his thinking, something he's often warry of doing especially to Dr. Watson. When the good doctor queries him about the case, Holmes responds, "It is fairly complete in essentials." Watson then asks, "I presume that this XX is the [person] you suspect?" "Oh! it is more than a suspicion." I found it amusing that even Watson got it right on the first try. As I did and surely you will too. But proving guilt is the issue. I liked the change in approach. Similar to Edgar Allan Poe who was writing 45 years before Doyle, Poe was the 19th century's model for detective fiction, the author can't stop himself from throwing in a demonstration up front of Sherlock Holme's talent. For Poe, it was his erudition. Here Doyle shows how Holmes can read a subject's mind, Watson's of course. By the way the doctor was later portrayed on screen, possibly that wasn't so difficult! Enjoy. I did. (Jul2024/May2025)

Text and audio in Portuguese. Too much talk and explanations, and little action. I watched the TV series with Jeremy Brett, read some Sherlock Holmes abridged adventures in English for foreign and I found Arthur Doyle short stories wonderful. But now that I'm read this unabridged text translated for Portuguese, it isn't so much interesting as I thought.

I found this story a little too far fetched. If I could give this book zero stars, I would.
January 7, 2019
An interesting tale from either The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, or His Last Bow. (Different stories appeared in diff. volumes in England and the US.)
A middled-aged, placid, and kindaboring English woman receives a box with two severed ears in it. Of course Lestrade, both puzzled and somewhat amused by all this, brings the matter to the attention of Sherlock. With dazzling insight and a thorough inspection of the weird items, Mr. Holmes pretty much solves the problem. (Also with a bit of information gathered from questioning the woman.) A few runs here and there, an errand or two and he is proven right.
This story was slightly scandalous at the time, as it involved some illicit goings-on, something which didn't appear in stories 'written for boys.' But I suppose as adults got in on the action (as we adults will do, often taking over entertainment 'meant for children' as our own), Sir Arthur upped the ante, so to speak.
Oh, what wild ones those late Victorians be!

3.5 stars & 4/10 hearts. This story has always intrigued and fascinated me even as it saddened me. I really liked the main character and felt that it isn鈥檛 totally his fault he ended up as he did... He made his choices and so did M., but it was S. who did the trouble and was the real villain. That aside, I loved Sherlock + Lestrade + Watson in this one鈥攚ith Lestrade completely disbelieving but coming around at the right time, and Sherlock enjoying himself solving a little problem instead of lying on his sofa. Overall, I find this story very interesting to read and ponder over, although it probably isn鈥檛 for everyone. Recommended ages: 18+

Miss Susan Cushing of Cross Street, Croydon receives a cardboard box sent by post from Belfast. On opening the box she was horrified to find two human ears, freshly severed, inside it. Is it a practical joke or a serious crime?
Miss Susan has two younger sisters, Sarah and Mary. Mary got married to a steward, Jim Browner and resides at Liverpool. Miss Sarah has once been intimate with Jim when she had gone to stay with the Browners, until recently, when a quarrel divided them and she returned to Croydon to stay with her elder sister.
Once again Lestrade has asked for Sherlock's assistance in the case. Whose ears have been severed? Was it sent to Miss Susan or to someone else?
The story ends with an unexpected turn of events which was both startling and astonishing.

"What is the meaning of it, Watson?鈥� said Holmes solemnly as he laid down the paper. 鈥淲hat object is served by this circle of misery and violence and fear? It must tend to some end, or else our uni- verse is ruled by chance, which is unthinkable. But what end? There is the great standing perennial problem to which human reason is as far from an answer as ever.鈥�
