Sherlock Holmes Far and Wide

By: Gretchen Altabef

Narrated by: J.T. McDaniel

Sherlock Holmes-Far And Wide is a compilation of Gretchen Altabef's somewhat broader short stories and one play, originally published separately in anthologies and now collected in this volume.

"Sir Arthur & The Time Machine" grew out of the crucible Arthur Conan Doyle faced during his decision to write "The Adventure of the Final Problem". When the Belanger Brothers called for stories for their anthology, Sherlock Holmes Further Adventures in the Realms of H.G. Wells, Ms Altabef was inspired to write her first Sci-Fi story. It received Fiction Honours from the ACD Society.

The play, "A Toast Darling", was inspired by a humorous reference of Mr Jeremy Brett to a meeting between himself and Mr Sherlock Holmes that neither of them showed up to. George Roland Wills's story, "A Short Phantasy. Jeremy Brett meets Mr. Sherlock Holmes", and the work of editing Maureen Whittaker's book, Jeremy Brett IS Sherlock Holmes.

Critic reviews

"A boldly portrayed Holmes. Exciting, ingenious, and a delight to read". - The Sherlock Holmes Journal

Fantastic stories

The short stories in this book are wonderful. They play off or add to the stories in the original canon. They showcase the author’s skill in creating unique original stories in keeping with ACD. The narration was excellent.
