Welcome to...
His name is Sherlock Holmes, and it is his business to know
what other people don’t know. Is there any other fictional
character as instantly recognisable as the great detective?
From his deerstalker and pipe to his science of deduction,
Holmes is iconic, and he’s synonymous with crime fiction. In
this book, you will discover what it was that started Sherlock
Holmes’ world domination, and meet the man eclipsed by his
creation’s fame. Find out how Holmes’ life mirrored that of
Arthur Conan Doyle, and how the famous author went from
a man of science, to a believer in fairies and seances. Learn
more about the new trend of crime fiction kickstarted by the
great detective, as well as the many plays, shows and films
he inspired. Finally, delve into the original stories from the
Return of Sherlock Holmes, supported by lavish maps, letters
and clippings from Dr Watson’s very own case notes!
