About the author
Arthur Conan Doyle
14.2k听books23.8k听followersSir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a British writer and physician. 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.

Holmes鈥� friend Harold Stackhurst is the headmaster of a nearby preparatory school called The Gables. Holmes is enjoying his retirement in Sussex when one day at the beach, he meets Stackhurst. No sooner have they met than Stackhurst鈥檚 science master, Fitzroy McPherson, staggers up to them, obviously in agony and wearing only an overcoat and trousers. He collapses, manages to mumble something about a 鈥渓ion鈥檚 mane鈥�, then dies. He has red welts all over his back, administered by a flexible weapon of some kind, as the marks curve over his shoulder and round his ribs.
Moments later, Ian Murdoch, a mathematics teacher, shows up. He has not seen the attack, and claims to have only just arrived from the school. Holmes sees other people far up the beach, but they are too far away to have been involved in McPherson鈥檚 death. Murdoch and McPherson had been friends, but Murdoch had a bad temper and had once threw McPherson鈥檚 dog through a plate-glass window. Despite this, Stackhurst is sure that they were friends, but if this is the case 鈥� who murdered McPherson?

Interesting, but not remarkable.
SYNOPSIS: "The Lion's Mane takes place in Sussex. Sherlock Holmes, now retired, lives in a small villa near the beach. One morning, a local school teacher is found near his favorite bathing spot with horrific wounds all over his bare back. He shrieks out with his dying breath the mysterious words "the Lion鈥檚 Mane." Suspicion soon falls on a fellow teacher.
The Adventure of the Lion's Mane has the distinction of being the only story in the Sherlock Holmes Canon to describe Holmes' life in retirement. It is also one of the most unusual tales of the series. The story is narrated by Holmes himself and does not feature Dr. Watson at all."

5 stars & 5/10 hearts. This is such a dramatic story that really fires the imagination, and I love it. Being one of the rare stories narrated by Holmes, after his retirement, it鈥檚 quite unique, and shows more of the detective than is revealed in his earlier self-narrated .
The plot of this story is gripping and extremely twisty, leaving me baffled until the very end. The characters are really interesting鈥攁 dour mathematics professor with a passionate temper; a weak-hearted but athletic science professor, reported to be both friends and not friends with said the mathematics professor; a beautiful love interest whose buff father and brothers are not in the slightest supportive of her love interest; a badly puzzled school principal; and a mysterious, 鈥榮avage, inhuman鈥� scourging.
There is nothing more to be said that doesn鈥檛 spoil the story, but rest assured it is one of the best Sherlock tales!
Content: For G*d鈥檚 sake; my G*d; or He**en鈥檚 sake.
鈥淏ut how did you know, Mr. Holmes?鈥�

This is an other great adventure by our favorite Master Detective Mr. Sherlock Holmes. This takes place after he has retired to his bee keeping and concerns a grewsome murder. His old friend DR. John Watson is visiting him at the time.
Please read it. You will enjoy it.

Now retired & keeping bees in Sussex Sherlock Holmes once gain finds himself drawn into investigating a mysterious death. Narrated by Holmes, instead of Watson, this is a fine story with an unusual conclusion.

Seems like Doyle is just getting desperate for storylines at that point.

i actually got so sad when john mentioned that people expect sherlock to eventually fall in love with a woman and sherlock just goes silent and tries to explain (for the 98483th time) why he doesn鈥檛 want that and john is trying to tell him that it鈥檚 fine and he should do whatever he wants
also john a canon vegetarian lol ???
sherlock, now retried, lives in rural sussex, in the south downs, isolated from everyone except his housekeeper and his pet bees (yeah he鈥檚 a beekeeper). he very rarely sees john anymore, but spends a lot of time with another friend of his, who is an academic slash headmaster at a nearby school. he goes swimming once in a while with some of the other teachers at this school too, they鈥檙e all friends. he鈥檚 so happy it鈥檚 quite sweet, a great way to end the sherlock canon. only a few more stories to go :)

This is a tough one to review. The solution was immediately and absolutely predictable from the outset, but would it have been when the tale was published? Also, Holmes' skills of observation are seriously lacking I think maybe Doyle was trying to cash in only at this point?

My review is not about the Audio Cassette, rather than a collection of short stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, titled after one of them, The Lion's Mane. It was the first book I read in English. It also turned out to be the first book about Sherlock Holmes that I read and, not unexpectedly, I found it quite enjoyable. The fact that it contained various short stories not that much connected with each other also made it a bit easier to read, taking in mind it was the first book I read in any foreign for me language.
I would guess there are not much negative opinions on the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and I'd recommend this book to any fan of Sherlock Holmes and mystery stories in general.

This is quite a fun one. As other reviewers mentioned, it is a little predictable, but I don't think it would have been during its initial publication. Maybe it isn't as exciting, but it makes the story stand out.
This is one of the very few stories by Doyle narrated only by Holmes. I read on wiki that this was because Doyle had initially intended for Holmes to "chronicle his own defeat" by having an expert give him the solution. I don't think Doyle's fans would have liked that though, and maybe he didn't think so either because Holmes solves it as usual!

Extremely disappointing and predictable. One expects a little more when Sherlock himself is transcribing but I guess it is better that Watson does his work on his own.

I have never been a fan of the mysteries which Sherlock Holmes narrates himself, nor when he retires and moves out into the country to become a bee keeper. That being said, this was a good mystery which keeps the reader wondering how the victim was killed right up until the very end like any good mystery should.

I had this one figured out by page 2 or 3. Still, it was a fun read.

The ninth short story in The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes is retired, but a murder mystery intrigues him. An entertaining mystery.
Read
April 23, 2024Purposefully misleading to a fault, especially since Sherlock was the narrator.

La historia comienza con Shelrock platic谩ndonos sobre c贸mo es su vida de retiro en Sussex, de nuevas amistades que ha hecho y de la relaci贸n que lleva con Watson (ya no muy frecuente). Sherlock habita una finca con sus abejas y su criada ancianita, cerca del colegio Harold Stackhurst.
Uno de esos amigos nuevos es el se帽or Stackhurst, en sus tiempos un estudiante muy aclamado y cuya relaci贸n comienza desde que Shelrock se muda a la regi贸n.
Un d铆a est谩n haciendo planes y justo cuando est谩n hablando de su otro amigo/conocido Fitzroy McPherson (el profesor de ciencias), este aparece al final del sendero, se cae de bruces y cuando corren en su auxilio se dan cuenta de que ha muerto y con su 煤ltimo aliento enunci贸: "la melena de le贸n".
Veremos c贸mo se resuelve el caso, quienes podr铆an ser los culpables, las relaciones personales del fallecido, y las deducciones de Shelrock de primera mano, porque 茅l narra la historia. Para ser sincera, ya me d铆 cuenta de que mucho del personaje de Shelrock que amo se debe a las descripciones y percepci贸n de Watson...
Resulta se runa historia menos... Interesante y misteriosa de lo que cre铆 en un inicio, pero estuvo ok.

Overall this was a rather good Holmes Story. Here we see Holmes further on in his life. Holmes and Watson seldom meet, as referenced to this at the start of the story. Holmes is on holiday on the South East Coast. Whilst out for a walk a man runs along screaming and dies. Upon examining the body are a series of bloody fine lined scars.
The story ensues with the dead owners dog dying of an apparent broken heart and two other people dying in a similar way. A regular old blood bath of a story.
This is definitely a very good story and enjoyable read, however, marked down in the starred rating, as, not just because this story was not written by Dr Watson, but by Holmes himself. I would have expected Arthur Conan Doyle to have changed the writing style to reflect a different writer.

FULL REVIEW ON MY WEBSITE
To be fully honest here the plot in this one was very weak, but it was still somehow enjoyable but not so interesting as some other stories about Sherlock Holmes in my humble opinion.
The characters here are okay but when it comes to Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson they are an amazing due and I loved they both because they have something in them which makes us relate to them.
The writing style here was okay but I think that sir Arthur Conan Doyle could have done better in this book.

Sherlock has retired to the chalky cliffs on the coast. It鈥檚 a beautiful day so he decides to take a stroll to enjoy the day and the view. While he鈥檚 out he sees a teacher from a local school stumbling around like someone who was drunk. When the teacher collapsed Sherlock rushed to his aid. He arrived just in time to hear the dying man mumble 鈥榯he lion鈥檚 mane鈥�. Sherlock might be retired but he鈥檚 still got the magic. Because it Sherlock it rates 5 stars, which means it鈥檚 essential reading for people who like to read.

As soon as the mystery started and I knew he had died by the water.
I knew it was a jellyfish.
Lion's Mane Jellyfish is one of the largest known species of jellyfish, though it's not as dangerous as this story makes out. You would need a large portion of your body to be stung, by more of the jellyfish or have an allergy to really have to worry. It's still going to really hurt! Even tiny blue bottle jellyfish will sent people running from the water.
