This miscellany explores the fascinating and enigmatic world of Sherlock Holmes, his place in literary history and how he has become the iconic, timeless character who is loved by millions. Containing facts, trivia and quotes from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary stories, the reader can also explore the often weird and wonderful characters who graced Conan Doyle's pages. Do you know the difference between a Penang Lawyer and a Tide-Waiter? And if you think a 'life preserver' is a cork-filled flotation device, how does Wilson Kemp fit one into the sleeve of his jacket? Sherlock Holmes: Inspiring Lives is light-hearted and highly informative, and perfect for both the Sherlock aficionado and those new to the world of 221B Baker Street. AUTHORS: Roger Johnson and Jean Upton have been members of The Sherlock Holmes Society for many years and have both regularly contributed to its popular journal - a publication which Roger himself edits. Other Sherlockian publications they have written for include The Baker Street Journal (American), The Passengers' Log (Australian), The Musgrave Papers (British) and The Ritual (British). Having met through a mutual long-term interest in Sherlock Holmes, Roger and Jean's wedding was attended by Dame Jean Conan Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's daughter. Together they are joint custodians of the 221B sitting room at The Sherlock Holmes pub in London. 32 b/w illustrations
