Synopsis

Set on Christmas Eve at 221b Baker Street, this story begins with a festive mystery: the presents have vanished from beneath the tree. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson take centre stage in a light-hearted reimagining of a much-loved seasonal poem, keeping to the original’s distinctive rhythm and verse.

Photography shot in a detailed recreation of Sherlock’s lodgings at Baker Street West in Jackson, California, places the narrative within a Victorian, museum-quality setting. Designed as a Christmas read for readers of all ages.
