This compendium of information about Sherlock Holmes stories would be most useful for someone with limited knowledge of the stories and the background to their composition. For each story there is a summary of the plot, something on any composition issues (eg dramatic devices) and a box or two on relevant context. Some of the stories (and of course the novels) have lengthier treatment than others.

The perspective is very much 21st century (eg in discussions on attitudes to race). At the end there are sections on film and stage representations and more contextual material. This is very much the product of an editorial team rather than a single guiding hand, and there is an air of it being assembled by committee. Still worth buying, though it is not a substitute for a fully annotated set of the canon. ( )

From a series of books in the same format that I have read, e.g., Classical Music. A fun read. Quite comprehensive with lots of visuals and interesting tidbits. ( )

I read most of Sherlock Holmes books but I still found new things in this book. ( )

I am and always have been an avid mystery fan. The puzzle, the clues, the chase and that satisfying mental click when the final pieces fall into place. And really, is there any more iconic mystery character than Sherlock Holmes?

Big Ideas is a new series from DK. And one of the titles in that series is The Sherlock Holmes Book. Oh my gosh, this book is so amazing!

"...The Sherlock Holmes Book provides a complete guide to all aspects of Holmesiana. It is a celebration of Conan Doyle's' most fascinating creation, the Great Detective Sherlock Holmes.

And I mean complete. Looking for a timeline and details on the author and his creations - check. But here's what I loved. Holmes appears in 56 short stores and four novels. Each story (in chronological order) is explored in detail in The Sherlock Holmes Book. An 'In Context' box liststhe date and the characters. Quotes from the story, info boxes talking about the time period, social mores, devices, postcards, pictures, ephemera and more accompany a dissection of the story. Which leads to my big idea.....

I'm going to go back to the beginning as well and re-read the Holmes novels and stories one by one, following up with the companion chapter from The Sherlock Holmes Book. I'm going to take my time and savour re-discovering the world of Sherlock Holmes.

The last fifty pages of the book explore Victorian London, Holmes on stage and screen, detective fiction, the art of deduction and more. See for yourself - read an excerpt of The Sherlock Holmes Book. If you love Holmes, you'll love this book.

As with all DK books, the layout was great, glossy stock, colourful and eye catching. Oh yeah - filled with wonderful information! This was the first of The Big Ideas Simply Explained titles I've looked at and I was impressed. ( )
