by moonlight lady 16. October 2019 The Reading Corner 0

I’m not the biggest fan of detective novels, but with Sherlock Holmes the thing is different. It is not the first time I read one of Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories, but it is the first time I read it in Spanish. What better option than the edition of Alma Clásicos Ilustrados of The Hound of the ...
