The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories: Part XLVIII: Occupants of the Canonical Realm (1899-1924)
59 New Traditional Canonical Holmes Adventures Collected in Three Companion Volumes
Over the course of their careers and lives, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John Watson were of inestimable importance. But when reading their many adventures, it’s not just the heroes themselves that make the stories so wonderful. It’s the Victorian and Edwardian worlds in which they lived, and the many people with whom the interacted – those well known, like Mycroft Holmes, Mrs. Hudson, and various Scotland Yard inspectors, and others who may have just crossed the stage for a short time before vanishing. All of these Occupants of the Canonical Realm have value, whatever the depth of their roles, and this new set of Holmes stories celebrates them.
Once again MX Publishing brings us fifty-nine adventures in three simultaneously published volumes, each with some level of participation by individuals who initially appeared in The Canon. Perhaps this person is a major player, or possibly he or she is only mentioned in passing. In the meantime, the reader can be certain that the True Holmes and Watson of these books are the Canonical Heroes one deserves and expects.
All royalties from these books go to support the Undershaw school for special needs children, located at one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s former homes.
Join us as we return to Baker Street and discover more authentic adventures of Sherlock Holmes, described by the estimable Dr. Watson as “the best and wisest … whom I have ever known.”
