山本周五郎は「文学には“純”も“不純”もなく、“大衆”も“少数”もない。ただ“よい小説”と“わるい小説”があるばかりだ」を信念とし、普遍妥当性をもつ人間像の造形を生涯の目的とした作家で、時代小説を中心に沢山の作品を残しています。
　その作風は今なお古臭さを感じさせず、繊細に描かれた人の心の機微や人情に、思わず笑わされたり、胸を打たれたりする魅力に溢れています。

＜あらすじ＞
一人の若侍が練り馬場と呼ばれる草原へ入って来た。しかし、七つの鐘を聞いて起きてきたはずの彼であったが、間もなく七つの鐘が鳴り、刻を間違えたことを悟った。約束の六つ半まで三時間あるが、辺りは酷く寒い。川岸をしばし歩いた彼は、橋の下に焚火が燃えていたのを目にした。近付いて見ると、「夫婦乞食」と呼ばれている老夫婦が鍋を掛けており、「よろしかったら、こちらへ来ておあたりになりませんか」と声を掛けられた。
　若侍はそれに応じて火に当たったが、老人たちの荷物の中に刀の柄が見えた。若侍が尋ねると、老人は元侍であることを告白し、若侍は時間潰しがてら、その告白に耳を傾けるのだった……

Adapted from the stories by Arthur Conan Doyle.... 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.

In these three of his best stories, Holmes has three visitors to the famous flat in Baker Street – visitors who bring their troubles to the only man in the world who can help them.

"Mme Oreille était économe. Elle savait la valeur d'un sou et possédait un arsenal de principes sévères sur la multiplication de l'argent. Sa bonne, assurément, avait grand mal à faire danser l'anse du panier ; et M. Oreille n'obtenait sa monnaie de poche qu'avec une extrême difficulté. Ils étaient à leur aise pourtant, et sans enfants ; mais Mme Oreille éprouvait une vraie douleur à voir les pièces blanches sortir de chez elle."

The gallant and fragile Quixote will touch listeners, as will his faithful squire Sancho Panza and the tragically beautiful heroine of the gentle Don’s chivalries, the fair Dulcinea.
