The topics are laid out in a sensible order. Chapter one is a general overview of the world of Sherlock Holmes. The next covers the four novels and then the following chapters are dedicated to each of the short story collections. Having covered the Canon, there are quizzes about Holmes on tv, stage, radio and the big screen. What’s left, you ask? Why, quizzes about Sir Arthur himself!
