$15.25

Description

Jewel thefts, missing persons, even murder all present elements in the world of the great detective Sherlock Holmes. The cases he and his biographer Dr. John H. Watson investigate find connection in their basing on adventures beloved of childhood. In a novel twist to the usual Holmes pastiches, Mrs. Puhl based her plots involving Mr. Sherlock Holmes on folk tales, nursery rhymes and other snippets of children’s literature. She  brought them into the Victorian era and kept them true to the expectations for Holmesian stories. But these are not children’s tales: no talking rabbits, no flying carpets or magic wands. No guarantee of a happy ending. They remain grounded in the logical world of Holmes and Watson.

Two men sit determined to prove in a race which of them runs faster. A child goes missing and presumed dead. Can Sherlock Holmes help heal the mother’s broken heart? A baby found in a basket at the foot of the seventeen steps to 221b Baker Street. Did an ancient legend lead to a modern-day murder? Join Mr. Sherlock Holmes and his biographer Dr. John H. Watson as they explore the unusual cases brought to them from the land of bedtime stories and wise adages. You may never feel quite the same again about children’s literatureer 2015
