If your Year 10 or Year 11 student is tackling Arthur Conan Doyle's classic mystery for GCSE English Literature, The Sign of the Four Text Guide from CGP offers a clear, structured route to exam confidence. Designed for ages 14–16, this revision guide unpacks every layer of the novel—plot, characters, themes, and literary techniques—so your child can walk into the exam hall ready to analyse and argue with precision.

Contents page showing detailed breakdown of themes, writer's techniques, and exam advice sections — The detailed contents page reveals sections on themes, the writer's techniques, and comprehensive exam advice to guide GCSE revision.

Each chapter delivers focused explanations, from the fog-wrapped streets of Victorian London to Sherlock Holmes's methods of deduction. You'll find dedicated sections on context, themes such as imperialism and rationality versus emotion, and a full breakdown of the writer's use of form, structure, and language. Practice questions appear throughout, encouraging your child to test their understanding step by step, and QR codes link to online Sudden Fail Quizzes covering plot, characters, context, themes, and techniques. The guide also includes a complete exam-advice section—with sample questions, planning templates, worked answers, and tips on choosing the best quotations—so revision feels less overwhelming and more achievable.

A character profile page demonstrates how key traits of Sherlock Holmes are explored with annotated quotations and connections to wider themes.

With this guide to hand, your child gains the vocabulary, analytical tools, and exam technique they need to write confident, well-supported answers. Because it aligns with AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and Eduqas specifications, it's a reliable companion no matter which exam board your school follows. The result? Calmer revision, sharper essays, and the reassurance that every element of The Sign of the Four has been covered in a way that makes sense.

This text guide suits any GCSE English Literature student studying Conan Doyle's novel, whether they're building knowledge from scratch or refining their exam technique in the final weeks.
