Synopsis

Published to mark the 130th anniversary of A Study in Scarlet, this volume reflects on the enduring appetite for new Sherlock Holmes adventures beyond the original Canon. It draws on the work created for Imagination Theatre, which began broadcasting original Holmes dramas across a United States network in 1998 and continued until the company closed in early 2017.

Alongside the original episodes, the same production team also performed their version of the complete Holmes Canon between 2005 and 2016, with John Patrick Lowrie as Holmes and Lawrence Albert as Watson, and scripts adapted by M. J. Elliott. The collection is presented as a tribute to Jim French and to the dramatists, cast and crew behind the series, and notes that royalties are being donated by the writers to support the preservation of Undershaw, a former home of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
