Book excerpt: Since his first appearance in Beeton’s Christmas Annual in 1887, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes has been one of the most beloved fictional characters ever created. Now, in two paperback volumes, Bantam presents all fifty-six short stories and four novels featuring Conan Doyle’s classic hero--a truly complete collection of Sherlock Holmes’s adventures in crime! Volume I includes the early novel A Study in Scarlet, which introduced the eccentric genius of Sherlock Holmes to the world. This baffling murder mystery, with the cryptic word Rache written in blood, first brought Holmes together with Dr. John Watson. Next, The Sign of Four presents Holmes’s famous “seven percent solution” and the strange puzzle of Mary Morstan in the quintessential locked-room mystery. Also included are Holmes’s feats of extraordinary detection in such famous cases as the chilling “ The Adventure of the Speckled Band,” the baffling riddle of “The Musgrave Ritual,” and the ingeniously plotted “The Five Orange Pips,” tales that bring to life a Victorian England of horse-drawn cabs, fogs, and the famous lodgings at 221B Baker Street, where Sherlock Holmes earned his undisputed reputation as the greatest fictional detective of all time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The latest entry in Laurie R. King and Leslie S. Klinger’s popular Sherlock Holmes-inspired mystery series, featuring fifteen talented authors and a multitude of new cases for Arthur Conan Doyle’s most acclaimed detective. Sherlock Holmes has not only captivated readers for more than a century and a quarter, he has fascinated writers as well. Almost immediately, the detective’s genius, mastery, and heroism became the standard by which other creators measured their creations, and the friendship between Holmes and Dr. Watson served as a brilliant model for those who followed Doyle. Not only did the Holmes tales influence the mystery genre but also tales of science-fiction, adventure, and the supernatural. It is little wonder, then, that when the renowned Sherlockians Laurie R. King and Leslie S. Klinger invited their writer-friends and colleagues to be inspired by the Holmes canon, a cornucopia of stories sprang forth, with more than sixty of the greatest modern writers participating in four acclaimed anthologies. Now, King and Klinger have invited another fifteen masters to become In League with Sherlock Holmes. The contributors to the pair’s next volume, due out in December 2020, include award-winning authors of horror, thrillers, mysteries, westerns, and science-fiction, all bound together in admiration and affection for the original stories. Past tales have spanned the Victorian era, World War I, World War II, the post-war era, and contemporary America and England. They have featured familiar figures from literature and history, children, master sleuths, official police, unassuming amateurs, unlikely protagonists, even ghosts and robots. Some were new tales about Holmes and Watson; others were about people from Holmes’s world or admirers of Holmes and his methods. The resulting stories are funny, haunting, thrilling, and surprising. All are unforgettable. The new collection promises more of the same!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are no strangers to peculiar cases. Be it the dilemma of an Indian princess on the run, perfectly healthy people dropping dead as divine punishment, being challenged to a duel, a heartbroken and suicidal young man, a beautiful woman claiming to be Mrs. Holmes, a little boy who loves his dog, an old Scottish ghost that traditionally haunts husbands of pregnant women - there is very little they haven't seen (and solved). But, besides regular adventures, there are quite a few questions - Where was Holmes during the Great Hiatus? How was Sherlock Holmes as a child? Who was ‘the most repellent man'? What happened after ‘The Five Orange Pips’? What ingenious crime did Holmes solve by observing ‘the depth which the parsley had sunk into the butter upon a hot day’? A Continuum of Sherlock Holmes brings together a baker’s dozen of such stories. These are all traditional-style pastiches published in various anthologies from 2015 - 2020, including the MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories. Jayantika Ganguly, better known as Jay, is an international Sherlockian from India who believes there can never be enough Sherlockian stories.

Download or read book Sherlock Holmes A Study in Illustrations Volume 1 written by Mike Foy and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-19 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sherlock Holmes is truly a 'Man for All seasons', his image has been worked and re-worked for over a century now, and the Holmes of 1887 is not the Holmes of Today. In his multi-volume collection, we will show how different illustrators have visualised Holmes and the other characters who appeared in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's works. Later volumes will celebrate Holmes in non-Canon stories as illustrators and authors put Holmes in other stories, but more of that later. This volume is not going to be very diverse, it is true to say that one person dominates. While it is true that there are illustrations by Charles Altamont Doyle, David Henry Friston, James Grieg and Walter Stanley Paget as well as all those images that appeared in the Bristol Observer, the majority of this book is going to be filled by one person, namely Sidney Paget. Just as nine tenths of an iceberg lies under the water, This book is 52/59's Sidney Paget, so if like me, you are an admirer of his work, you are in for a treat as every Sidney Paget Sherlock Holmes Image is here. If you don't like his work, skip this book and wait for later volumes, - You have been warned, but for many Sidney Paget's drawings of Holmes have the atmosphere of the period. The Fog filled labyrinth of London, the desolation of Dartmoor, and perhaps his most famous illustration as Holmes and Moriarty fight to the death at the top of the Reichenbach Falls. The contents of this book may have moved during transit, so care must be taken when opening this book. What is to be found within? - Four images by David Henry Friston for Beeton's Christmas Annual where Sherlock Holmes is seen for the first time with magnifying glass and long sideburns in the story 'A Study in Scarlet'. - We have images from two stories that appeared in 'The Bristol Observer', namely, 'The Sign of Four' then strangely later they did 'A Study in Scarlet'. - We also have James Greig and his two single drawings for 'A Study in Scarlet' in 1895 and then again 1896. - Six illustrations by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's father Charles Altamont Doyle for the 1888 'A Study in Scarlet' and finally - Four images by Sidney's younger Brother Walter Paget of 'The adventure of the dying Detective' in the Strand Magazine 1913. After that it's back to back Sidney, starting with 'A scandal in Bohemia' and ending with 'The adventure of the Second Stain.' WARNING: Parts of this book contain large amounts of Sidney Paget, if you are a sufferer of Pagetitus or a Pagetphobic, please do not buy this book. If you are a Pagetphile however, you may safety indulge yourself.

This writer has even included that carbuncle eating goose and that lazy dog that did nothing." Watson stretched out his arm and picked it up from the coffee table, "I like to keep it handy, it looks so nice on this table, giving the whole room an air of sophistication. In addition it's so large and thick, it would stop an air rifle bullet at a thousand yards. Only the other day I looked up Captain Calhoun and Messrs. Biddle, Hayward and Moffat and found that there was a link between these individuals." Holmes thought a moment, and said "What links Miss Hunter, Miss Smith, Miss Westbury and Miss De Merville?", "Too easy" cried Watson. "What about this Holmes, get those braincells working, Which Canon story has 4 totally unrelated people with the same surname (last name), I can give you a clue, one was a policeman, one was an alias, one was a teen and one was an official. " "And this book lists them all?" asked Holmes, "Yes, there are over one thousand characters in it and of course, we both get a special mention, and it's illustrated throughout" "Sidney Paget again, I suppose?" "Oh no, not just him, but artists like Frederic Dorr Steele of Collier's fame, Ernest Flammarion, F. H. Townsend, Josef Friedrich, Paul Thiriat, Richard Gutschmidt, Arthur Twidle et al. It's a must have for anyone seriously into Us." Mike Foy's mammoth book includes all the characters (animals included) from the Sherlock Holmes canon, with as many illustrations as possible. It's one of the largest compilations of its kind and an excellent reference resource for Sherlock Holmes fans.
