Product Description
Who is Holmes? The workd's greatest detective? A drug addict with a heart as cold as ice? A millstone around the neck of his creator? He's all of these things and much, much more.
Sherlock Holmes was the brainchild of a Portsmouth GP Arthur Conan Doyle. A writer of historical romantic fiction, Doyle became unhappy with that the detective's enourmous success eclipsed his more serious offerings. But after attempting to wipe him out at the Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland, Doyle was faced with a vociferous backlash from the general public and eventually he had no choice but to bring the sleuth back from the grave to face more puzzling mysteries.
This entertaining and informative Pocket Essentials guide contains in-depth analyses of all sixty canonical Sherlock Holmes stories, a sampling of some of the best pastiches and parodies, an exhaustive listing of actors who have played him on stage, film and television, and a summary of the best websites devoted to the Great Detective and his creator. The ideal companion for both serious Holmes scholars and inquisitive newcomers alike.
