Editorial Reviews

Sherlock Holmes is the very foundation stone of the edifice that is crime fiction.”

Times (London)

Every writer owes something to Holmes.”

T. S. Eliot

He is unique in simultaneously bringing down the curtain on an era and raising one on another, ushering in a genre of writing that... has never been surpassed. His own life, as footballer... eye surgeon, champion of injustice and investigator into the paranormal, is the stuff of legend. Personally, I would walk a mile in tight boots to read his letters to the milkman—Stephen Fry, The Arthur Conan Doyle Collection
