If anyone has an interest in the character of Sherlock Holmes beyond the stories and pastiches, this book is for you. This book provides great background information on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a chronology of the life of Doyle and the "life" of Holmes and Watson, plus plenty of full-color pictures, and even info on the many different portrayals of Holmes on stage and TV, from William Gillette to Jeremy Brett.
