Only two Sherlock Holmes stories are narrated by Holmes himself rather than Dr. Watson: 'The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier' and 'The Adventure of the Lion's Mane', both from the collection 'The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes' (1927). Doyle experimented with first-person narration from Holmes' perspective in these late stories. Most other stories, including 'A Scandal in Bohemia' and 'The Adventure of the Speckled Band', use Watson as the narrator.
