The Cambridge Companion to Sherlock Holmes | Janice M. Allan, Christopher Pittard
post image

I went to the Cambridge University Bookshop yesterday, which prides itself on inhabiting the oldest bookshop site in Britain & being the oldest publisher in the world, so fine credentials!
I picked up the Sherlock Holmes number in their critical series "The Cambridge Companion to...", which I've seen reviewed as dry and academic, so sounds like my kind of book ?
The first essay is on the history of detective fiction & Doyle/Holmes' place in it.
