Each entry in this fascinating book conjures up the thrill of discovering the stories for the first time, or casts light upon some obscure Victorian phrase or custom for a current reading of rereading. This is a book to deepen our wonder at and increase our understanding of the world's best-loved detective, the immortal Sherlock Holmes.
