"A boldly portrayed Holmes. Exciting, ingenious, and a delight to read". The Sherlock Holmes Journal. Sherlock Holmes-Far And Wide is a compilation of Gretchen Altabef's somewhat broader short stories and one play, originally published separately in anthologies and now collected in this volume. "Sir Arthur & The Time Machine" grew out of the crucible Arthur Conan Doyle faced during his decision to write "The Adventure of the Final Problem". When the Belanger Brothers called for stories for their anthology, Sherlock Holmes Further Adventures in the Realms of H.G. Wells, Ms Altabef was inspired to write her first Sci-Fi story. It received Fiction Honours from the ACD Society. The play, "A Toast Darling", was inspired by a humorous reference of Mr Jeremy Brett to a meeting between himself and Mr Sherlock Holmes that neither of them showed up to. George Roland Wills's story, "A Short Phantasy. Jeremy Brett meets Mr. Sherlock Holmes", and the work of editing Maureen Whittaker's book, Jeremy Brett IS Sherlock Holmes. "Boxing Day Brother Mine", a unique holiday adventure placed in the middle of Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle". Sherlock brings his brother Mycroft into the heart of his dilemma. "Black Peter's Misplaced Mariners" is an attempt to solve one of at least two mysteries Arthur Conan Doyle so brilliantly left behind in his story, "The Adventure Of Black Peter". Altabef wrote her first parody for this volume, "Crime is common. Humour is rare. The Many Deaths of Sherlock Holmes". The tradition of parody in Sherlock Holmes' writing dates back to 1893, when "Under the Clock", was performed at the Royal Court Theatre. This unforgettable production starred Charles Brookfield as Sherlock Holmes and Seymour Hicks as Doctor Watson. "In The Land Of The Living" appeared in Mystery Magazine. The story follows Holmes each step of the way from the Reichenbach Fall to his meeting with the Thirteenth Dalai Lama. "A Watsonian Conundrum", was written for The Watsonian Journal. "Miss Annie Harrison's Rose Soliloquy". A review of Conan Doyle's "The Adventure of the Naval Treaty", from a woman's perspective. "Mrs Hudson's Garden", was the piece that birthed Altabef's novel, The Keys of Death. "A Scandal in Baker Street" begins as an essay and ends as an addition to Arthur Conan Doyle's story, "A Scandal in Bohemia". The complete 1904 Strand Magazine story, "The Adventure Of Black Peter", by Arthur Conan Doyle.

For the Sake of the Game is the latest volume in the award-winning series from New York Times bestselling editors Laurie R. King and Leslie S. Klinger, with stories of Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, and friends in a variety of eras and forms. King and Klinger have a simple formula: ask some of the world’s greatest writers—regardless of genre—to be inspired by the stories of Arthur Conan Doyle. The results are surprising and joyous. Some tales are pastiches, featuring the recognizable figures of Holmes and Watson; others step away in time or place to describe characters and stories influenced by the Holmes world. Some of the authors spin whimsical tales of fancy; others tell hard-core thrillers or puzzling mysteries. One beloved author writes a song; two others craft a melancholy graphic tale of insectoid analysis. This is not a volume for readers who crave a steady diet of stories about Holmes and Watson on Baker Street. Rather, it is for the generations of readers who were themselves inspired by the classic tales, and who are prepared to let their imaginations roam freely.

In this first general theory for the analysis of popular literary formulas, John G. Cawelti reveals the artistry that underlies the best in formulaic literature. Cawelti discusses such seemingly diverse works as Mario Puzo's The Godfather, Dorothy Sayers's The Nine Tailors, and Owen Wister's The Virginian in the light of his hypotheses about the cultural function of formula literature. He describes the most important artistic characteristics of popular formula stories and the differences between this literature and that commonly labeled "high" or "serious" literature. He also defines the archetypal patterns of adventure, mystery, romance, melodrama, and fantasy, and offers a tentative account of their basis in human psychology.

Dr. John H. Watson is a man of medical science, a man of action and a man of letters. His life has been one of adventure and romance. In 1894 he finds himself alone following the death of his great friend Sherlock Holmes three years earlier and now the passing of his beloved wife, Mary. His loneliness is all encompassing and only a true friend can help him to see there is still reason to continue living. But when that friend, Inspector G. Lestrade of Scotland Yard suddenly and mysteriously disappears, Dr. Watson takes it upon himself to discover the reason for the abduction. Watson is thwarted in his investigation by his friend's brother, Mycroft Holmes and by the unseen culprits responsible for Inspector Lestrade's kidnapping. Still, Watson battles on, ignoring orders from Her Majesty's Government, from Scotland Yard and from friends who wish only to see the Good Doctor through the darkest time of his life. Dr. Watson begins to uncover secrets long hidden and the possibility if threats far reaching that could embroil the world in a war never before witnessed. What is truth and what is fiction is a determination Watson will make for himself with near shocking understanding in the final moments.

When a meeting with a client goes disastrously wrong, Sherlock Holmes soon finds himself involved in a case of murder with two dead bodies and too few clues. From some clear pieces of glass and a raven's feather, the Great Detective must divine exactly who the client was and what prompted him to seek assistance at 221B. Fortunately, Holmes has a number of experts upon whom he can rely as well as his own vast store of esoteric knowledge. Treading a twisted path, Holmes soon finds himself matching wits with an unseen criminal, who appears to be the equal of the late Professor Moriarty. At the same time, he is tasked with sparing the monarchy any possible embarrassment that may stem from the investigation. It's a deadly game of cat-and-mouse that finds Holmes and Watson attending underground auctions, using rare and priceless artefacts as bait and holding a late night vigil in anticipation of deterring a theft, all the while trying to understand how a priceless antiquity fits into their investigation. Like his previous books, Richard T. Ryan's Three May Keep a Secret is a deft blend of history and mystery, interweaving real-life personalities and ancient artefacts with the gas-lit streets of Victorian England and the characters of the Canon. The end result is a pastiche that should appeal to anyone who appreciates a tangled skein spiced with a healthy dollop of suspense and intrigue.

1888: Dr. John H. Watson, Army Corps surgeon turned colleague of the celebrated consulting detective Sherlock Holmes, decides not to assist in future cases as he is engaged to Mary Morstan. 1926: Mary Forrester discovers her mother's diary, covering the years 1889 to 1893 — her marriage to Watson. What occurred in those years? How was the quintessential male friendship of Holmes and Watson seen through a woman's eyes? How stable was a marriage where Watson was liable to abandon Mary at Holmes’s summons? Who, ultimately, was Mary Morstan — a figure seldom referred to in Arthur Conan Doyle’s sixty Holmes stories? This blend of fact and fiction sheds light on a virtually unexplored dimension of the Great Detective’s exploits. It is a perspective Sherlock Holmes —who elevated “true, cold reason … above all things” - would probably not appreciate. But for all its warmth and irrationality, there is just as much truth in the heart.

ÿ Michael Bawtree owes his cultured start in life to the rambling country house hotel his parents owned and managed in the 1950s. What it lacked in income it made up for in style and in the quality of the guests, who included dukes and professors as well as dozens of prominent names from the arts and academia, from C S Lewis and Iris Murdoch to Sir Adrian Boult. Unsurprisingly, Michael quickly developed a talent for literature, drama and music which eventually, after he had read English Language and Literature at Oxford with Christopher Ricks as his tutor, took him to Canada, where he embarked on a career in the theatre. As Far As I Remember is part 1 of Michael?s story, covering his formative years, from a wartime childhood and years at a rural prep school to an education at Radley College, where a close friendship with Peter Cook, already on the brink of fame as a comedian and satirist, helped to propel him towards a theatrical career. The story of his later life as a prominent actor, playwright and director in Canada will be told in Volume 2.
