Sherlock Holmes: The Empty House (Easy Classics): 3 (The Sherlock Holmes Children’s Collection: Creatures, Codes and Curious Cases (Easy Classics))

This is an adaptation of a The Empty House designed for children. I enjoy murder mysteries, especially children’s ones, so I thought I might enjoy this one.I have not read the original of this particular story, but I have read several Sherlock Holmes stories. I thought this was well adapted - it has a good feel of the Sherlock Holmes books, but without being too tense and frightening. I found it very short, but the pace is good. It conveys the characters of Holmes, Watson, and Hudson really well.The illustrations are great - both expressive and amusing - whilst showing the events of the story well.I really enjoyed reading this book, and I think it would be an excellent way for children to enjoy the Sherlock Holmes story, without the darker parts that would be too frightening.I was given a free copy of this book, my opinions are my own.
