Synopsis

This annual collection brings together 63 new, traditional, canonical-style Sherlock Holmes adventures, written to echo the manner of the original stories. The series began in 2015 with an initial set of three companion volumes containing over 60 tales, and has since expanded to more than 900 new adventures by over 200 contributors worldwide.

Here, Holmes and Watson’s investigations range from Holmes’s life before meeting Watson, through their early days in Baker Street, and on to the period of the First World War, with mysteries that unfold in unexpected directions. Contributor royalties are donated to the Undershaw school for special needs children, based at one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s former homes; the project has raised over $120,000 to date. Suitable for readers who enjoy new stories written in a traditional Holmes style.
