À propos de cet e-book
"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.
