《福爾摩斯冒險史》主要以夏洛克·福爾摩斯的助手約翰·華生第一人稱敘述角度來撰寫,這也是福爾摩斯探案系列的常用撰寫方式,之後的系列也僅有4篇不是以華生的角度敘述。
《牛津國家人物傳記大辭典》一書內紀載亞瑟·柯南·道爾本人在撰寫《福爾摩斯冒險史》時,試圖點出社會上不公平的一面,例如國王背叛歌劇演唱家、繼父為了金錢偽裝成情人來欺騙自己的養女、一名貴族慣犯利用一位經營不善的當舖老闆犯罪、一名乞丐在肯特郡擁有一座廣大的莊園。道爾同時表明他將福爾摩斯在這系列的短篇小說描述成一位在官方無能與貴族特權的不公正世界中,為社會提供另一種既新奇又公正的管道。
柯南·道爾在1927年向岸濱月刊公布他所喜愛的12篇福爾摩斯著作,其中有4篇收入在《福爾摩斯冒險史》中,依序分別為他本人最喜愛的花斑帶探案,以及紅髮會(第2名)、波希米亞醜聞(第5名)、五枚橘籽(第7名)。
