This indispensable Companion brings together all the ingredients - a Who's Who, plots of each story, biographies of Holmes and Watson, an anthology of their aphorisms and a chapter on their relation to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, their creator.
It was Sidney Paget who first portrayed the main characters of the Holmes saga and indelibly established their features. For too many years his illustrations have been unobtainable except in second-hand copies of the old Strand Magazine, their use in this book will fill old admirers with nostalgic delight and be an additional temptation to those lucky enough to be approaching 221b Baker Street for the first time.
