Description

Thomas W. Ross (au). A fascinating collection of information, hitherto unavailable, about the Great Detective & his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. For example, the Index lists the astonishing variety of weapons employed in the stories: life-preservers (blackjacks), chairs, poison gas, & an arsenal of knives & pistols. You can study Holmes’s garb, & the Index facilitates the evaluation of the character of Dr. Watson. Provides abundant material for an assessment of Doyle’s writing habits; he was one of the greatest storytellers in English, but could be pompous. Includes thousands of Sherlockian facts into alphabetically arranged categories that allow the reader to find that information instantly.
