M Christopher's Reviews > The Great Detective: The Amazing Rise and Immortal Life of Sherlock Holmes

An interesting and amusing treatment of the history of Sherlock Holmes, including biographical details on Arthur Conan Doyle, Conan Doyle's struggle to learn to live with his most famous creation, and how Holmes outlived him with newly created or adapted stories for stage, film, and TV, as well as the cottage industry of pastiche fiction. Also includes an insider's look at "Sherlockians" (or "Holmesians," depending on your nationality), who were super-fans long before the advent of "Trekkies."

Good fun for fans of the Great Detective.
