The Return of Sherlock Holmes
The Adventure of the Dancing Men is a Sherlock Holmes story written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as one of 13 stories in the cycle published as The Return of Sherlock Holmes in 1905. It was first published in The Strand Magazine in the United Kingdom in December 1903, and in Collier's in the United States on 5 December 1903.
Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Dancing Men" third in his list of his twelve favorite Holmes stories.[1] This is one of only two Sherlock Holmes short stories where Holmes' client dies after seeking his help.[2] Holmes's solution to the riddle of the dancing men rests on reasoning that closely resembles that of Legrand in Poe's "The Gold Bug."
The original title was "The Dancing Men," when it was published as a short story in The Strand Magazine in December 1903.[3]
