Holmesiana

Rights to further discussion of the March additions to published Holmesiana are now released to Vincent Starrett, who plays a considerable role in all three books.

Here, the veteran scholar of Holmesiana gives us an imaginative account of Watson’s early life—before the meeting with Holmes.

The two Sherlockian special-interest books I would recommend to any casual reader who loves the character are Vincent Starrett’s The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes—a glimpse of the time of its own creation as much as of Holmesiana itself—and James Edward Holroyd’s happy-go-lucky Baker Street By-ways.
