Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not your typical Sherlock Holmes adventures… Nick Dunn-Meynell's new collection, A Proof Reader's Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, contains twelve sequels - of sorts - to each of the original stories in The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes, which first appeared in The Strand from 1891 to 1892. Within this book, you’ll find a series of conversations between Holmes and Watson, each immediately taking place at the conclusion of one of the Adventures. These aren’t typical Sherlockian pastiches - the reader won’t find new investigations in the traditional manner. Rather, these stories take the inconsistencies and contradictions to be found in those original twelve Canonical Adventures and pull them apart, twist them, double back on them, and construct them into something that’s sly and new and thoroughly thought-provoking. These efforts are dense with material and are filled with Easter Eggs for the perceptive Sherlockian. The author’s subtle sense of humour and affection for Holmes and Watson peeks through at every turn, and there are references in each of the individual stories that refer to the others within this collection, giving hints of a bigger narrative at play. Reading these cannot and should not be hurried. They must be pondered. And in addition to the Sherlockian aspects, Mr. Dunn-Meynell has managed to weave references to works of art from London’s National Gallery into each story, pointing out their own hidden or ignored aspects, symbols, and meanings. There’s much to enjoy and ponder about these stories. Some will catch you by surprise and make you laugh out loud, while others will leave you painfully aware of contradictions and mistakes that have been previously ignored in The Canon. These aren’t typical Holmes adventures, but they are worth the time to savour and explore. Enjoy…

This book was released on 2018-09-26 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotations Indeed, as I thought, it has been a quick and easy to read book. Of course, entertaining and enjoyable. At a time when people were accustomed to serialized literature, Arthur Conan Doyle, began to publish these short stories about Sherlock Holmes adventures and was so welcomed by the public, who wrote dozens of them. In this book 5 of them are collected: The empty house, The mystery of Lower Norwood, The puppets, A family drama and Peter the Black, so I will make a brief review of each of them. Although they are independent stories, they have correlation in time, so that what happens in any of them, can affect the frame of the others, for example, in the empty house, the narrative begins having Mr. Holmes died in an ambush suffered in a previous book. After putting yourself in antecedents, this adventure begins. Of course, as you will imagine, he has not died: It is only a stratagem to defeat his enemies. In The Mystery of Lower Norwood, he has to prove the innocence of a man accused of murder, when all the evidence points to him. The monks is a story in which he tests his ability to decipher indecipherable messages (of course, using unique media, by him invented and collected in a treaty that he published) In A family drama, the entanglement at first resists him, but his perseverance and intuition makes him finally solve the crime. And, finally, Pedro the Negro, is an adventure story, "Holmes classic." From the beginning he is clear about what he has to do, of course leaving aside any police discovery, which is never worth anything. All the Sherlock Holmes stories have a similar pattern. The adventures are told by the doctor, a companion inseparable from Holmes's adventures, although his participation in them is limited to a secondary performance, always under the dictates of the detective, always admiring him, always revealing the superiority of Sherlock over Watson himself and over the rest of the world, always trying to protect you from possible dangers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sherlock Holmes, the world's “only unofficial consulting detective”, was first introduced to readers in A Study in Scarlet published by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1887. It was with the publication of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, however, that the master sleuth grew tremendously in popularity, later to become one of the most beloved literary characters of all time. In this book series, the short stories comprising The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes have been amusingly illustrated using only Lego® brand minifigures and bricks. The illustrations recreate, through custom designed Lego models, the composition of the black and white drawings by Sidney Paget that accompanied the original publication of these adventures appearing in The Strand Magazine from July 1891 to June 1892. Paget's iconic illustrations are largely responsible for the popular image of Sherlock Holmes, including his deerstalker cap and Inverness cape, details never mentioned in the writings of Conan Doyle. This uniquely illustrated collection, which features some of the most famous and enjoyable cases investigated by Sherlock Holmes and his devoted friend and biographer Dr. John H. Watson, including A Sandal in Bohemia and The Red-Headed League, is sure to delight Lego enthusiasts, as well as fans of the Great Detective, both old and new. LEGO® is a trademark of the LEGO Group of Companies. The LEGO Group has not been involved in nor has it in any other way licensed or authorised the publication of this book. THE ADVENTURE OF THE COPPER BEECHES: A young lady named Violet Hunter visits Baker Street seeking the advice of Sherlock Holmes on whether to accept a job as governess which commands a generous salary, but with some peculiar conditions. Two weeks after ultimately accepting the position, Miss Hunter calls Holmes to The Copper Beaches, an estate in Hampshire, to look into the singular, and at times terrifying, behaviour of her employers.

Watson, M.D., Late Indian Army, painted upon the lid. It is crammed with papers, nearly all of which are records of cases to illustrate the curious problems which Mr. Sherlock Holmes had at various times to examine..." - Dr. John H. Watson So wrote Dr. Watson in "The Problem of Thor Bridge" - and ever since, Sherlockians have been bringing us new adventures from this legendary tin dispatch box. While his original Literary Agent only edited the pitifully few sixty stories that make up the original Canon, there have since been literally thousands of traditional adventures about the true Sherlock Holmes - and there will never be enough! Throughout the original Holmes Canon, there were hints and teases of other intriguing cases - The Giant Rat of Sumatra... The Abernetty Tragedy... The Manor House Case. Watson mentions well over one-hundred of these, which have collectively come to be known as The Untold Cases. Now, the latest MX anthologies present thirty-four of those adventures in two simultaneously published volumes, with all royalties going to support the Stepping Stones School at Undershaw, one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s former homes. Join us as we return to Baker Street and discover more authentic adventures of Sherlock Holmes, described by the estimable Dr. Watson as "the best and wisest... whom I have ever known." Each volume contains forwards by Lyndsay Faye, Roger Johnson, Melissa Grigsby, Steve Emecz, and David Marcum.
