Description

The World of Sherlock Holmes. The facts and Fiction behind the World's Greatest Detective. By Martin Fido. 'The World of Sherlock Holmes explores the fictional life of the character and the real life of his creator, Arthur Conan Doyle. Doyle trained in medicine, fought in the Boer War and had a deep interest in spiritualism. But his real fame came from his writing, particularly the Sherlock Holmes adventures. So popular was his creation that Doyle was forced to revive him after killing him off in 1893. The book explores the myths and reality of Sherlock Holmes and his creator, as well as the era in which Conan Doyle's mysteries were published, which saw the rise of Scotland Yard as a legendary organization for criminal detection and huge advances in forensic medicine, the science of deduction and criminal analysis. A VERY LARGE BOOK THAT WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FREIGHT.
