Book details
Overview
The master storyteller, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, gifted the world more than 60 stories featuring the greatest detective of all time. In addition to these famous narratives, Doyle also referred to dozens of other cases which Holmes and Watson shared during their long years of partnership. These unwritten stories have sparked the imaginations of readers for generations, and now, in the Archives of Sherlock Holmes, these "lost tales" are finally being told! Author and artist Ben Congdon is a lifelong fan of the Great Detective, and he has painstakingly studied the work of Doyle for years. With an authentic writing style, devotion to the original canon, and beautifully rendered artwork reminiscent of Paget, The Archives of Sherlock Holmes offers a chance to step back into that world of intrigue and mystery which Conan Doyle brought to vivid life more than a century ago.
