Sherlock Holmes, the Man and His World

Fiction with 136 illustrations. If ever any life has begged biography it is perhaps that of Sherlock Holmes. The world's first and greatest consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes bears a name that is one of abiding myth. Yet Holmes himself had a mordant dislike of publicity. He permitted only one individual, his friend Dr. John H. Watson, to publish anything of his methods and his manner----and even then there was much that fell under an iron embargo.
