The Adventure of the Lion's Mane

The Adventure of the Lion's Mane is a detective short story by Arthur Conan Doyle, first published in 1926. It belongs to the Sherlock Holmes canon and is one of the stories collected in The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes. Written in English, it focuses on Holmes working through an unusual case with his usual attention to detail, observation, and deduction, without giving away the plot.

This one suits readers who like compact mystery fiction and want a quick entry into the Holmes world. Its standout feature is the narration: Holmes tells the story himself rather than Dr. Watson, which gives it a more direct and personal angle. If you enjoy the precise, analytical side of detective writing, this is a neat example of that style in a shorter form.
