Chronological orders

Does anyone know the reason, and/or have a source for the reason a different chronological order is favoured than the original in newer editions? Would be useful information for the article if so.121.74.224.51 (talk) 23:09, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

"Lesser Entry" ?

This is a good WP-article, but I find the very last paragraph a bit dubious. It starts : "Although some of the stories are comparable with Doyle's earlier work, this collection is often considered a lesser entry in the Sherlock Holmes canon." There is nothing wrong with pointing out when a artist looses inspiration. Only, I read the four stories that are supposedly weaker or even written by someone else. I find all four of them very good. You don't expect that a great author in his sixties writes exactly in the same way as when he was in his thirties, do you? The support for the words "lesser entry" seems to me rather weak: an author who wrote new SH-stories instead of creating his own characters, a copy-Watson, and some unknown philologist.
