5.0 out of 5 stars Highly faithful to the genre, 20 Sep 2003
By M. Diggins (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
With over 25 new Holmes stories in this volume, one might expect a high ratio of chaff, but I don't think there are more than 3 that fail to ring true, and even they are worthy attempts.

Amongst the more ingenious stories: Holmes crosses with Aleister Crowley, and in another, discovers evidence supporting the Curie's hypothesis of radiation!

Thoroughly enjoyable, and like the originals, rewarding to return to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth buying and readinng, 24 Feb 2004
By A Customer
High standard of printing accuracy for a paperback of over 520 pages but proof-reading could have been better - 'carriage came to a holt','business was falling' and hilariously,'I must have access to my flies'. A town in Norfolk is 'Kings Lynne', a famous site is the 'Reichenback Falls', and James Macklesworth becomes John Mackelsworth. There is occasionally the sense that a sentence has been missed or added, and several authors can't resist the temptation to write 'The game's afoot', 'You know my methods' and 'Elementary, my dear Watson !' In 1903, poor Lestrade is still an Inspector after 22 years. Some parts of the editor's introductions are at odds chronologically with his own Appendixes, and one author's story is wrongly titled in them. However, the list of stories by other writers is invaluable.
