Sherlock Holmes is the greatest
detective of them all. He sits in his
room, and smokes his pipe. He
listens, and watches, and thinks. He
listens to the steps coming up the
stairs; he watches the door opening
– and he knows what question the
stranger will ask.

TRUE STORIES
‘I want to learn to fly,’ Amelia Earhart
tells her family one evening. But it
is 1920. Flying is expensive and
dangerous, and most people think it
is for men, not women.
But nothing can stop Amelia Earhart,
and she works hard to be a pilot.
