At the age of ten in the mid-1970's, David Marcum discovered Mr. Sherlock Holmes, and from that point, he knew that the original 60 Canonical adventures would never be enough. This, coupled with his life-long desire to write, meant that eventually he would find a way to add new stories to The Great Holmes Tapestry.The years passed, and David collected, read, and chronologicized literally thousands of traditional Canonical Sherlockian pastiches. Then, in 2008, with time on his hands while laid off from his civil engineering job during The Great Recession, David finally found his way to Watson's Tin Dispatch Box, producing The Papers of Sherlock Holmes. These first nine short stories originally sat on a shelf in his Holmes book collection before he eventually decided to share them with others. That first collection was initially published by a small press in 2011, and then in 2013 by the world's premiere Sherlockian publisher, MX Publishing - and after that, there was no turning back.Since then, in addition to editing over 60 volumes (most of which are Sherlockian pastiche collections), David has written and published over 100 Sherlockian adventures in a variety of anthologies and magazines. Now these are being collected - along with a few others that haven't been seen before. The first five volumes were published as a set in 2021, containing 77 of David's Holmesian stories - and now we bring you 21 more, some published for the first time!Join us as we return to Baker Street and discover more authentic adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the man described by the estimable Dr. Watson as "the best and wisest . . . whom I have ever known." The game is afoot!

Arthur Conan Doyle a mené une existence particulièrement riche et passionnante, le type de vie qu'on attribue à un véritable excentrique, ce qu'il n'était pas. Il était toutefois plein de ressources, courageux, intelligent, dévoué et ouvert d'esprit. De nombreuses biographies ont été écrites et vous pensez peut-être que les moindres aspects de sa vie ont été couverts. Il semble pourtant que de nouvelles informations soient sans cesse mises à jour, comme le prouve cet ouvrage. Le nom Arthur Conan Doyle a longtemps été éclipsé par l'une de ses plus célèbres créations, Sherlock Holmes. Lorsque vous évoquez Dartmoor, probablement neuf personnes interrogées sur dix pensent à la plus grande aventure de Sherlock Holmes, Le Chien des Baskerville, mais d'une façon générale, les liens de Conan Doyle avec Dartmoor et le comté du Devon dépassent largement cette ¿uvre. Le premier cabinet dans lequel il travaille après avoir obtenu son diplôme de médecin se trouve à Plymouth. Il s'agit assurément d'un engagement de courte durée mais le docteur Conan Doyle retourne dans le comté à de nombreuses occasions. De nature active, il effectue toujours ces visites dans un objectif qui vont au-delà du simple repos, comme vous pourrez le constater. La vie de deux autres hommes est inextricablement liée aux expériences de Conan Doyle dans le Devon. George Turnavine Budd, qui fait de lui son associé dans le cabinet de Plymouth, et Bertram Fletcher Robinson, qui joue un rôle essentiel dans la conception et l'ébauche de Le Chien des Baskerville. Le présent ouvrage se penche de façon approfondie sur ces contributions. Des guides pour romantiques souhaitant suivre la piste de Sherlock Holmes existent déjà. Je me réjouis d'accueillir ce livre qui se concentre plutôt sur le créateur du détective, et qui plus est rédigé conjointement par un scientifique et un spécialiste de Conan Doyle.Roger Johnson,Éditeur: The Sherlock Holmes Journal
