This volume, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson: The Early Adventures, is an amazing collection of some of Holmes and Watson’s fascinating cases that occurred during those first three years in Baker Street, when Holmes was creating his unique profession of consulting detective and Watson was still recovering from the war wounds that he’d received in Afghanistan and slowly returning to the business of being a civilian doctor. Included are 31 new stories in three companion volumes by some of today’s best Sherlockian pasticheurs.

There is a persistent and incorrect idea, reinforced by countless film misrepresentations, that Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were always staid and dull British chaps of middle years (or older), with Holmes a spry, cranky, and impatient eccentric, and Watson a white-haired and portly Boobus Brittanicus, a la Nigel Bruce. Students of the true and Canonical Sherlock Holmes know this to be a falsehood. When we first meet them on January 1, 1881, Holmes is still 26 years old (although he will turn 27 in just a few days), and Watson, already a wounded war veteran, is only 28.

This collection also includes a return to the infamous Baskerville Hall scene of Sherlock Holmes’ most celebrated investigation. This unique ...

It was among the earliest cases Dr. Watson undertook in the company of the great Sherlock Holmes, merest months after their initial meeting described in A Study in Scarlet, as in the winter of 1882 the pair travel north to Edinburgh, after a bizarre letter from the eccentric new landlord of a long-abandoned theater, asks for Holmes’ aid in verifying before the world the validity of hauntings long-rumoured to occur there, and which have become supremely active of late amid the playhouse’s ongoing restoration. Disdainful of the idea of the supernatural, the still little-known Sherlock ...
