Book Synopsis R. Holmes and Co by : John Kendrick Bangs
Download or read book R. Holmes and Co written by John Kendrick Bangs and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-29 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shelves: humor, pastiche'Raffles Holmes & Company' is a unique book as it is a pastiche based on two different legendary characters created by two equally legendary writers. In this collection of short stories with traces of humor and mystery written in 1906, John Kendrick Bangs introduces to the reader the enigmatic character of 'Raffles Holmes' - the son of the great Sherlock Holmes and the grandson of the gentleman thief A.J. Raffles - and his escapades. In the story titled 'The Adventure of the Dorrington Ruby Seal' the reader gets to know how Sherlock Holmes - created by Arthur Conan Doyle - tracing a crime gets acquainted with Marjorie, the daughter of A.J. Raffles - created by Doyle's brother in law E.W. Hornung - and falls heads over heels in love with her resulting in their matrimony. John Kendrick Bangs adapts character traits from both these ancestors resulting in Raffles Holmes being a gentleman and a magnetic figure with mastery in disguise, deduction, scheming and talented as a cat burglar and thief. Following the style of Sherlock Holmes and A.J. Raffles tales, these stories are chronicled by an artistic assistant named Jenkins who also acts as a companion to Raffles Holmes. The battle of conscience between the A.J Raffles and the Holmes traits in Raffles Holmes are the main feature of these stories. Even though Raffles Holmes is a morally inclined character at times it can be seen that the traits of A.J. Raffles is a tad powerful than the Holmes traits. Instead of solving crimes through deductive abilities like Holmes, Raffles Holmes often uses his logical deduction and mastery over breaking and entering to create cases and then solve them for monetary benefits. The author intent seems to be on making these stories more tending towards being humorous and fanciful than making them taut mysteries like the original Holmes stories. 'Raffles Holmes & Company' is one of the earliest of the Holmes & Raffles pastiches and is a fine sampler for the multitudes of parodies written by John Kendrick Bangs. These preposterous tales of mystery are easy to read and amusing and will be worthy to take up for Holmes & Raffles fans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Kendrick Bangs' novel, "Raffles and Co.," tells the story of Raffles Holmes, son of great detective, Sherlock Holmes. Raffles has all of his father's detecting skills with none of the responsibility. Raffles Holmes comes from impressive stock, with both larceny and detection in his blood in equal measure. He's the son of the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes, and the grandson of gentleman criminal A. J. Raffles. No wonder he's so conflicted between the desire to solve crimes and the urge to make sure the rich get their deserved comeuppance. Yet there is one ambition that is consistent in both sides of Holmes: making money. What's the easiest way for him to make that cash? Selling the stories of his exploits, of course. And what tales they are! Holmes is as smooth an operator as his grandfather, and he finds himself the culprit of cases nearly as often as he is the detective. Whether burglarizing for the greater good, fighting a desire to steal priceless jewelry, or playing the part of a bandit in order to save someone, Holmes is a rakish hero worthy of his name.

This book was released on 2017-05-29 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That last affair of Raffles and mine, wherein we had successfully got away with the diamond stomacher of the duchess of Herringdale, was still a live matter in British detective circles, and the very audacity of the crime had definitely fastened the responsibility for it upon our shoulders. (Mrs. Raffles) Mrs. Raffles – After the death of her husband A. J. Raffles, the popular 'Gentleman-Thief', his wife dons the hat of the clever thief with her husband's ex-partner Bunny posing as her butler in American high society. What follows then are entertaining stories of suspense and adventure with good dose of satire on the American high class. R. Holmes and Co. – Like his ingenious grandfather and grandmother, the amateur thieves, R. Holmes combines the best of Sherlock Holmes (his father) and maternal grandparents (A. J. Raffles and Mrs. Raffles) to start his own company. But it is left to see which inherited trait will dominate him, his father's or grandparents'? It is a pure pastiche and amusing parody of Sherlock Holmes series by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. John Kendrick Bangs (1862–1922) was an American author, editor and satirist. He extended the original A. J. Raffles series by E. W. Hornung, who himself had inverted the character of Sherlock Holmes of his brother-in-law Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as a form of flattery.
