After Arthur Conan Doyle created the detective, Sherlock Holmes, many writers borrowed him to be the hero of their stories. The anthology offers a selection, old and new.

The canon of Sherlock Holmes adventures by Arthur Conan Doyle contains fifty-six stories and four novels. But there were yet other adventures and artifacts pertaining to Mr. Holmes not listen in the canon. Peter Haining has collected them here, complete with informative and entertaining introductions. This special, revised collector's edition is profusely illustrated. A must for any Sherlock enthusiast.

First published in 1944, this is an anthology of parodies and pastiches, and comprises of a collection of more than 30 stories—written by detective story writers, famous literary figures, humorists and others—of burlesques and pastiches of the famous detective that represent the highlights of character, style, idiosyncrasies, deduction associated with Sherlock Holmes. Barrie, O’Henry, Clendening, Agatha Christie, Anthony Berkeley are but a few of the others, out of print or collectors’ items, here reprinted for the first time. “Respectful, waggish, farcical, all are appreciative of Holmes’ domination of the mystery scene. [...] a pleasant companion to Holmesiana.”—Kirkus Review
