A two thousand year old secret leads Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson along a dark & death laden path to the lair of a ruthless master criminal. Even Holmes cannot foresee the final outcome.

Sherlock Holmes is truly a 'Man for All seasons', his image has been worked and re-worked for over a century now, and the Holmes of 1887 is not the Holmes of Today. In his multi-volume collection, we will show how different illustrators have visualised Holmes and the other characters who appeared in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's works. Later volumes will celebrate Holmes in non-Canon stories as illustrators and authors put Holmes in other stories, but more of that later. This volume is not going to be very diverse, it is true to say that one person dominates. While it is true that there are illustrations by Charles Altamont Doyle, David Henry Friston, James Grieg and Walter Stanley Paget as well as all those images that appeared in the Bristol Observer, the majority of this book is going to be filled by one person, namely Sidney Paget. Just as nine tenths of an iceberg lies under the water, This book is 52/59's Sidney Paget, so if like me, you are an admirer of his work, you are in for a treat as every Sidney Paget Sherlock Holmes Image is here. If you don't like his work, skip this book and wait for later volumes, - You have been warned, but for many Sidney Paget's drawings of Holmes have the atmosphere of the period. The Fog filled labyrinth of London, the desolation of Dartmoor, and perhaps his most famous illustration as Holmes and Moriarty fight to the death at the top of the Reichenbach Falls. The contents of this book may have moved during transit, so care must be taken when opening this book. What is to be found within? - Four images by David Henry Friston for Beeton's Christmas Annual where Sherlock Holmes is seen for the first time with magnifying glass and long sideburns in the story 'A Study in Scarlet'. - We have images from two stories that appeared in 'The Bristol Observer', namely, 'The Sign of Four' then strangely later they did 'A Study in Scarlet'. - We also have James Greig and his two single drawings for 'A Study in Scarlet' in 1895 and then again 1896. - Six illustrations by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's father Charles Altamont Doyle for the 1888 'A Study in Scarlet' and finally - Four images by Sidney's younger Brother Walter Paget of 'The adventure of the dying Detective' in the Strand Magazine 1913. After that it's back to back Sidney, starting with 'A scandal in Bohemia' and ending with 'The adventure of the Second Stain.' WARNING: Parts of this book contain large amounts of Sidney Paget, if you are a sufferer of Pagetitus or a Pagetphobic, please do not buy this book. If you are a Pagetphile however, you may safety indulge yourself.

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.

In 2015, the first three volumes of The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories arrived, containing over 60 stories in the true traditional Canonical manner, revisiting Holmes and Watson in those days where it is "always 1895" ... or a few decades on either side of that. That was the largest collection of new Holmes stories ever assembled, and originally planned to be a one-time event. But readers wanted more, and the contributors had more stories from Watson's Tin Dispatch Box, so the fun continued. Now, with the release of Parts XIX, XX, and XXI, the series has grown to over 450 new Holmes adventures by nearly 200 contributors from around the world. Since the beginning, all contributor royalties go to the Stepping Stones School for special needs children at Undershaw, one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's former homes, and to date the project has raised nearly $60,000 for the school. As has become the tradition, this new collection of 64 adventures features Holmes and Watson carrying out their masterful investigations from the early days of their friendship in Baker Street to the post-War years during Holmes's retirement. Along the way they are involved in some fascinating mysteries - some relating Untold Cases, others sequels to Canonical adventures, and a number progressing along completely unexpected lines. Join us as we return to Baker Street and discover more authentic adventures of Sherlock Holmes, described by the estimable Dr. Watson as "the best and wisest ... whom I have ever known."
