2 posts | 6 read | 3 to read
An indispensable biography of the worlds most famous detective from Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Vincent Starrett In a boarding house at 221B Baker Street, a genius is at work. With the help of his tireless companion, Dr. Watson, the peerless Sherlock Holmes solves one impossible mystery after the next. Many of his adventures, such as The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Red-Headed League, are world famous, while others, including The Adventure of the Tired Captain and The Singular Affair of the Aluminum Crutch, remain strictly private, simply because Watson cannot find the time to write them down. This glimpse into the secret case files of Englands greatest detective is just one of the fascinating tidbits included in Vincent Starretts landmark book of Sherlockiana. A founding member of the Baker Street Irregulars, Starrett enriches his meticulous research with a true fans delight. Whether he is discussing Arthur Conan Doyles real-life criminal investigations or detailing the layout of 221B Baker Street and its surrounding neighborhood, Starretts deep appreciation for the stories and their inimitable hero is infectious. Countless companion volumes to the series have been published, but none offers as much insight and entertainment as The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes does. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

Found this when I was searching what to do with today‘s #novemberbythenumbers.

“This simple sonnet has captured the collective imagination of Sherlockians since the early 1940s and in 14 short lines seems to capture the essence of why we still enjoy the Sherlock Holmes stories.”
