Synopsis

This volume challenges the familiar screen image of Holmes and Watson as older, staid figures, returning instead to their ages at the start of their partnership in 1881. The focus is on the first three years of their life at 221B Baker Street, a period in which Holmes is establishing his work as a consulting detective while Watson is recovering from wounds received in Afghanistan and resuming civilian medical practice.

Alongside an excerpt from A Study in Scarlet, the collection brings together new cases by modern Sherlockian pasticheurs and key canonical stories, including “The Speckled Band” and “The Resident Patient” in a version that restores its original opening. Suitable for readers interested in Sherlock Holmes pastiche and those who enjoy revisiting the early Baker Street years.
