'Four Noncanonical Sherlock Holmes Short Stories' Summary
This compilation delves into the lesser-known corners of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes world, offering a glimpse into the stories deemed outside the official canon. 'The Field Bazaar,' a brief tale published in a university newspaper, presents a humorous take on Holmes and Watson over breakfast, while 'How Watson Learned the Trick,' written for a miniature book in Queen Mary's Dolls' House, further emphasizes the playful, conversational aspect. Shifting gears, 'The Lost Special' and 'The Man with the Watches' dive into intricate train-related mysteries, hinting at the involvement of an unnamed 'amateur reasoner' and 'well-known criminal investigator' who bear striking resemblance to the iconic detective, leaving readers to speculate on their true identity.Book Details
