The Adventures of SherlockHolmes - by Sir ArthurConanDoyle
INTRO
The Adventures of SherlockHolmes is a collection of twelve stories by Sir ArthurConanDoyle, featuring his famous detective. It follows the novel "The Sign of Four" (which I already reviewed) and it is the first work on Holmes which has been written in the form of short stories. From what I could gather online, I can tell you that they were originally published as single stories in the Strand Magazine from July 1891 to June 1892. The book was published in England on October 14, 1892 by George Newnes Ltd and in a US Edition on October 15 by Harper. The initial combined print run was 14,500 copies. The book was banned in the Soviet Union in 1929 for occultism, although the book shows few to no signs of such material. Later, the embargo was lifted ...
Advantages: Shows you things you didn't know Disadvantages: None, really
Sir ArthurConanDoyle, the Real SherlockHolmes, is an interesting look at the life of ArthurConanDoyle, the man who gave us arguably the greatest fictional detective ever. (There are some reasons for opting for GK Chesterton's Father Brown for this accolade, but I'll leave it as it stands, with SherlockHolmes in this pole position.)
The video is well made and is quite clearly a labour of love by the director and producer,
It is a well-realised production, and the atmospheric, expert violin playing by Sophie Coles really does add much to the programme.
The research and script was provided by Sue Hosler and the narration was undertaken by Liam Dale, who also worked on the production as a location cameraman, along with Judith McFarlane. Liam Dale also produced and directed the programme.
The film deals effectively ...
Advantages: Brilliant stories, good presentation, well laid out, iconic characters Disadvantages: Repetitive
the main novels written by ConanDoyle, the most noticeable being 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'. These are also preceded chronologically, and so the reader can grow along with the characters. The presentation is excellent, especially for such a full body of work. And as for the price, it is a small amount to pay for something so iconic.
On the downside, if you are not a fan of SherlockHolmes you may indeed find this book tiring. On the other hand, I reckon it may well change your mind.
In my opinion truly brilliant, something every bookshelf should hold. ...
