（audiobook version）Wonderful and very listenable。 I worry a lot with reference type books in audio format and have been stung before by a person reading lists。 Glad to say this one is 97% narrative telling and a tiny bit of the basic facts at the end of each story。 Loved every minute of it。 It was either refreshing my memory of stories I read long ago or giving the cliffnotes of ones i will never get to。 Recommended for any fan of 221b。

كانت رحلة ممتعة إجمالا - ولا تخلو من بعض المشقة - في تتبع بعض التفاصيل واسترجاع سياقها الأدبي والتاريخي لترجمتها على النحو اللائق والمرغوب。عالم هولمز كاملا بين يديك، فاقرأ واستمتع。مودتي。

Кто в детстве или позже не читал Конан Дойля。 А кто видел книгу， где указаны районы Лондона и не только， а еще и Англии， да даже маршрута от Рейхенбахского водопада двумя способами？А еще в этой энциклопедии по Шерлоку Холмсу есть невероятные схемы， объясняющие дедуктивный метод детектива。 В общем， самый настоящий интеллектуальный десерт。 https://maxlapin。com/2020/11/27/b287/ Кто в детстве или позже не читал Конан Дойля。 А кто видел книгу， где указаны районы Лондона и не только， а еще и Англии， да даже маршрута от Рейхенбахского водопада двумя способами？А еще в этой энциклопедии по Шерлоку Холмсу есть невероятные схемы， объясняющие дедуктивный метод детектива。 В общем， самый настоящий интеллектуальный десерт。 https://maxlapin。com/2020/11/27/b287/ 。。。more

Great book overall but it took me literally a decade to finish because of all the detailed information （and this book itself is already super thick！！！）。 I'm pretty sure that I'll re-read this book over and over again。This one could be best served as a reference book， something that you read after finishing the main stories to find more easter eggs。 All Sherlock Holmes stories were arranged chronologically， each story is covered by around 10 to 20 pages with original illustration。 It talked about Great book overall but it took me literally a decade to finish because of all the detailed information （and this book itself is already super thick！！！）。 I'm pretty sure that I'll re-read this book over and over again。This one could be best served as a reference book， something that you read after finishing the main stories to find more easter eggs。 All Sherlock Holmes stories were arranged chronologically， each story is covered by around 10 to 20 pages with original illustration。 It talked about background stories， some hints that were not explained well enough in the main stories， Holmes's reasoning and etc。 In some parts， it provided comparison between the stories which gives reader a more systematic thinking of how stories are related。 A really enjoyable read。 。。。more

Un interesante análisis sobre la obra más conocida de Arthur Conan Doyle。 Las explicaciones sobre los casos y la narración son acompañados de notas de información que sitúan el contexto histórico de cada uno de los relatos， enriqueciendo la información que obtenemos de la lectura de los mismos （y que， en este siglo， nos son más desconocidas）。 Especialmente interesante en este aspecto resulta el último capítulo， "El mundo de Sherlock Holmes"。 Un interesante análisis sobre la obra más conocida de Arthur Conan Doyle。 Las explicaciones sobre los casos y la narración son acompañados de notas de información que sitúan el contexto histórico de cada uno de los relatos， enriqueciendo la información que obtenemos de la lectura de los mismos （y que， en este siglo， nos son más desconocidas）。 Especialmente interesante en este aspecto resulta el último capítulo， "El mundo de Sherlock Holmes"。 。。。more

Fun book。 Lots of information on Sherlock Holmes， the influences on Arthur Conan Doyle to create him， who he influenced and a breakdown of each and every Arthur Conan Doyle written Holmes' story。 Fun book。 Lots of information on Sherlock Holmes， the influences on Arthur Conan Doyle to create him， who he influenced and a breakdown of each and every Arthur Conan Doyle written Holmes' story。 。。。more

This book goes through every Sherlock Holmes story and explains the characters， the story， and background。 Then the second part is about customs and history of Victorian London。If you love SH， you will love this。

Highly informative introduction and a ready reference to Holmes。 The illustrations are cool and the artwork accompanying each of the chapter nicely brings out the analytical details of the story concerned。 There are some typos in the print though。 Overall a good read。 Some mild trivia here and there are especially likable。

Must read for any Homles fan。 The insets were repetitive if you read the text。

Not a full read through， as this is more of a reference book for the Canon with some great background info on the stories， author， media， & culture。

You -- and I cannot stress this enough -- should be reading this book right at this moment if you love Sherlock Holmes。 You will not regret it。

More like an encyclopedia than anything else， but great for Holmes-nerds like myself！

Bailed。 This got left behind in the move。 Sadly it held no new information so I just could never get excited by it。 A novice to the Holmes canon would probably find it most illuminating。

Recomiendo este libro a todo holmesiano o sherlockiano。 No solo te resume cada relato （GRACIAS， de verdad que no era capaz de recordarlos todos）， también cuenta muchas curiosidades， e incluso añade datos de cada uno para que podamos ubicarnos en un contexto histórico。 Así podemos descubrir de dónde sacaba Doyle los perfiles de los personajes o incluso las historias， qué pasaba en la propia vida del autor a la hora de escribir， qué pensaba de alguno de sus propios relatos。。。 De verdad， todo es in Recomiendo este libro a todo holmesiano o sherlockiano。 No solo te resume cada relato （GRACIAS， de verdad que no era capaz de recordarlos todos）， también cuenta muchas curiosidades， e incluso añade datos de cada uno para que podamos ubicarnos en un contexto histórico。 Así podemos descubrir de dónde sacaba Doyle los perfiles de los personajes o incluso las historias， qué pasaba en la propia vida del autor a la hora de escribir， qué pensaba de alguno de sus propios relatos。。。 De verdad， todo es información muy relevante que me ha ayudado muchísimo a entender mejor a Doyle， Holmes y Watson y todas sus aventuras。 Así que， fans de Sherlock Holmes， ¡este libro ya debería tener un sitio de honor guardado en vuestra estantería！ 。。。more

This book takes each of the Canon and describes and annotates it。 Each story has a chapter which explains Conan Doyle's ideas。 It helps if you do not understand Watson and need more explanation。 The ideas about the Victorian world and detective fiction are good if simple。 The problem is that you would do better to read the stories。 Please do not spoil them by reading this book first。 This book takes each of the Canon and describes and annotates it。 Each story has a chapter which explains Conan Doyle's ideas。 It helps if you do not understand Watson and need more explanation。 The ideas about the Victorian world and detective fiction are good if simple。 The problem is that you would do better to read the stories。 Please do not spoil them by reading this book first。 。。。more

For Sherlock Holmes fans and enthusiasts， this book is a must-have。 The book discusses each story that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote that features Holmes and Watson。 I also like the Pop Culture section where it talks about the movies， TV shows and fandok surrounding the great detective。 Fantastic illustrations and easy-to-read format。 Great addition to your book collection。

I liked this very much。 It is filled with interesting background information and the layout is very well put together。

This is a very interesting recap of everything Holmes。 In addition to biographical information about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle， there are summaries of every story in the Holmes canon， short bits about the Victorian era， sidebars about things like hansom cabs， Jack the Ripper， and many others。 There are lists of movies， authors of pastiches & parodies， TV shows， and much much more。 People who are just starting out as fans of Holmes & Watson can find a lot of good source material here， in addition to This is a very interesting recap of everything Holmes。 In addition to biographical information about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle， there are summaries of every story in the Holmes canon， short bits about the Victorian era， sidebars about things like hansom cabs， Jack the Ripper， and many others。 There are lists of movies， authors of pastiches & parodies， TV shows， and much much more。 People who are just starting out as fans of Holmes & Watson can find a lot of good source material here， in addition to canon。This book is one BIG spoiler - if you have never read the original Doyle Sherlock Holmes stories， do NOT read this book until you have done so （I don't expect there to be many people who have not read the original in some language or other - all the stories have been translated into more languages than anything else except the Bible - another of the neat little facts from this book）。Also， if you have not read Sherlock Holmes， and you like mysteries， what are you waiting for？ Then read this book for additional information。 。。。more

An essential tool for any holmesian intellectuals。All background information like history and methodology to any case is depicted in this 。 Cannot recommend this highly enough for anyone looking for a book on Sherlock Holmes without any uneccesary jargon in it
