Singular Adventures of Mr Sherlock Holmes

The third edition of this well-received collection of Sherlock Holmes short stories. Sherlock Magazine called the original edition "One of the best collections of Holmes pastiches for some time" and the Newsletter of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London said "Mr Stockwell clearly knows his period and has an engagingly inventive imagination." Other critics have remarked how the author hits off the Watsonian idiom with remarkable accuracy, the president of the Czech Society of Sherlock Holmes saying "The stories look like being from the pen of John H Watson himself" and the Midwest Book Review stating "Completely faithful to the spirit and tone of the Doyle originals." This new edition contains a total of seventeen unusual, bizarre and thoroughly intriguing tales written in the classic manner. Why does a man wear a yellow top hat to feed the pigeons in Trafalgar Square? Why should a maiden lady be terrified at receiving a jigsaw, piece by piece? How can a cyclist disappear in the snow without leaving any traces? The answers to these and many other enigmas are revealed by the master sleuth in this collection of stories written in the authentic style as narrated by Dr Watson.
