Synopsis

This annual collection continues a long-running project that began with the first three volumes in 2015, originally conceived as a one-off gathering of new stories written in a traditional, Canonical manner. With the release of Parts XXV, XXVI and XXVII, the series has expanded to nearly 600 new adventures by almost 200 contributors from around the world.

As with earlier instalments, the focus remains on Holmes and Watson’s investigations across a wide span of their shared history, from the early Baker Street years through to the post-war period of Holmes’s retirement. The volume brings together 59 new traditional adventures and is presented as part of a simultaneously published trio of annual books, for readers who enjoy classic-style Sherlockian fiction.
