The Adventure of the Red-Headed League is one of 12 Sherlock Holmes stories comprising The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. It is one of the 56 short stories in the Sherlock Holmes canon. It was originally published in the Strand Magazine in August 1891.\xa0

One thing to note \u2013 the dates in the story don\u2019t match the characters\u2019 descriptions of time passing. Wilson first discovers the advertisement for the League on April 27, 1890, works for 8 weeks, finishing at the end of June. However, the story begins as \u201cone day in autumn\u201d, and describes the league closing on October 9, 1890.\xa0

The story is still great, but nitpickers are going to nitpick, so we thought we\u2019d point it out.\xa0

And now, The Adventure of the Red-Headed League, by Arthur Conan Doyle.\xa0
