Publisher Review

I read these stories when I was a child and discussed them endlessly with my grandfather: one of my earliest literary memories. I know all the solutions off by heart now but it doesn’t matter because the brilliance of the stories lies in the relationship between Holmes and Watson, which is both funny and touching-Jonathan Coe, Sunday Express

Now, as in his lifetime, cab drivers, statesmen, academics, and raggedy-arsed children sit spellbound at his feet -proof, if proof were needed, that Doyle’s modesty of language conceals a profound tolerance of the human complexity… No wonder, then, if the pairing of Holmes and Watson has triggered more imitators than any other duo in literature. Contemporary cop dramas draw on them repeatedly-John Le Carre, The Times

Holmes is a mesmerising creation and Conan Doyle a master storyteller-The Times

Arthur Conan Doyle is unique in simultaneously bringing the curtain down on an era and raising one on another, ushering in a genre of writing that, while imitated and expanded, has never been surpassed-Stephen Fry
