Synopsis

Framed with a playful nod to Holmes and Watson at 221B Baker Street, this “mammoth” volume sets out to catalogue every character encountered in the 56 short stories and four novellas, including animals. The book lists over one thousand entries and aims to include as many illustrations as possible, drawing on artwork by Sidney Paget alongside Frederic Dorr Steele, Ernest Flammarion, F. H. Townsend, Josef Friedrich, Paul Thiriat, Richard Gutschmidt, Arthur Twidle and others.

Designed as a substantial compilation and reference resource, it is positioned as a must-have for readers who are seriously interested in Sherlock Holmes.
