hello. I would think not, Sherlock Holmes was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's creation. His works on Holmes, Watson and Lestrade were envied the world over, but anything more than so was created by another author.

It would not hurt your expirience at all. Not in the least. As a matter of fact The third and fourth Novels ''The Valley of Fear'' Happen some time before The Sign Of Four. Only The first two novels and the first three Short story Collections happen in chronological order (with a few exceptions amongst the short stories) the rest happen in different time periods of Holmes' career with two happening after his retirement (His Last Bow BTW is chronologically the last story in the canon and was intended to be the Finale). So you'll be fine reading the novels first and the Collections later. As a matter of fact I usually recomend reading Valley of Fear before the short story collections... you'll understand why when you read Memoirs.

"Hound of the Baskervilles" come before the Return of Sherlock Holmes stories. Both in terms of when each was written and in the Holmes time-line Hound of the Baskervilles takes place in October of 1889, published in 1901-02. The Empty House takes place in April 1894, published in 1903. Many collections of Holmes stories often separates 2 of the Sherlock Holmes "novels" "Hound of the Baskervilles" and "Valley of Fear" in different sections from the single stories. There is no good reason to do this really except that it might look neater. However I should add that coming up with a definitive chronology of Holmes time-line has caused many a confusion and although the accepted chronology places House of the Baskervilles prior to The Empty House. There was one famous Holmes scholar, Ernest Bloomfield Zeisler, who placed Hound of the B. as taking place in 1900 and so maybe your book used his time-line to place the stories.
