SHERLOCK HOLMES
by William S. Baring-Gould
Ithasbeensaid that threefictional characters
areknowntoreadersallovertheworld: Ham-
let, Robinson Crusoe—and Sherlock Holmes.
Holmeshasbeen called "themostconvincing,
themostbrilliant,themostcongenialandwell
loved of all the detectives of fiction," and his
stalwart friend andbiographer,John H. Wat-
son. M.D.. late of the .Army Medical Depart-
ment, "the most famous and best-loved phy-
sician in literature."
Here, in tvvo volumes, is every word that Sir
ArthurConan Doyle 1859-1930) everwrote
(
about the adventuresof the detective and the
doctor—fifty-si.\ short stories and four com-
plete novels, arranged chronologically from
Holmes's first case, in 1874, when he was a
university student, to his signal service to the
BritishEmpireintheopeningdaysoftheFirst
World War.
William S. Baring-Gould, theeditor, whowas
one of the greatest Sherlockian authorities,
wrote two previous volumes about the Sage
of Baker Streel—The Chronological Holmes
and Sherlock Holmes of BakerStreet: A Life
of the World's First Consulting Detective.
To this work he contributed eleven fascinat-
ing chaptersof introduction on Conan Doyle,
on Holmes and Watson and the evil Profes-
lor James Moriarty, and on the Baker Street
Kcne; he also provided "interludes" that
throw a new light on many (jcrplexing prob-
lems raised by Watson's writings; and in
addition annouted each adventure from his
vast collection of "Writings about the
Writings." He amassed as well, from files of
yellowing books and magazines, British and
American, hundreds of illuminating maps.
