В классических рассказах о приключениях Шерлока Холмса, вышедших из-под пера Артура Конан Дойла, лишь мельком упоминается ряд дел, разгадкой которых приходилось заниматься Великому Сыщику. Даже для тех, кто не обладает дедуктивным мышлением, совершенно очевидно, что эти дела всерьез повлияли на судьбу Холмса и на формирование его методов ведения расследования. Но, в силу определенных, известных ему одному причин, Артур Конан Дойл не уделил этим делам внимания, которого они заслуживают. Лауреат премии Эдгара По, писатель и литературовед Майк Эшли вдохновил целую плеяду известных писателей на то, чтобы закрасить «белые пятна» в истории…

A fascinating drama in which Sherlock Holmes steps off the page to save his life and in doing so faces a heart-stopping revelation about his own existence.

Haunted by the tag of ‘the Sherlock Holmes man’ and tired of his catchpenny detective creation, author Arthur Conan Doyle employs the services of Professor Moriarty to bring an end to the career of the Great Detective. Aware that some dark force is bent on his destruction, Holmes rises to the challenge and not only encounters his nemesis Moriarty but also learns the terrible truth about his very being. While Doyle appears to achieve his end when Holmes supposedly falls into the terrible abyss of the Reichenbach Falls, he has not reckoned on his fictional character’s immortality. In a remarkable reversal of fortune, the detective appears to triumph.

This unusual, challenging and often highly amusing drama not only presents a fresh and intriguing insight into the Sherlock Holmes saga but also explores the nature of the strange and unnerving relationship between creator and creation.

t is 1916 and Sherlock Holmes has returned to his rooms in Baker Street after attending the funeral of his long time associate, Dr John H. Watson. Holmes reflects on the old days and comes to realise that not only was there so much that he had shared with Watson in his lifetime but also there was so much that he had not revealed to him: things he had kept hidden, including his deep affection for his friend. Imagining that Watson is present, Holmes addresses this failing and touches on aspects of past cases and the various characters he encountered during his investigations, including ‘The Woman’ Irene Adler and of course Professor Moriarty.

Holmes delves deeper into the darker aspects of his own history, revealing at last a shocking secret. Realising now how lonely and isolated he is without his old comrade, adrift in a new modern and war-ravaged age, he comes to wonder whether, like Watson, he too has come to the end of his time…

This novel is an exciting fusion of a Sherlock Holmes mystery with the Ruritanian world of intrigue and skulduggery of Anthony Hope's novel The Prisoner of Zenda.

Colonel Sapt of the Ruritanian Court journeys to England on a secret mission to save the country from anarchy. His mission is to engage the services of Rudolf Rassendyll once more to impersonate the King while the monarch recovers from a serious illness. But Rassendyll has mysteriously disappeared. In desperation, Sapt consults Sherlock Holmes who, with his faithful companion Watson, travels to the Kingdom of Ruritania in an effort to thwart the plans of the scheming Rupert of Hentzau in his bid for the throne.

Sherlock Holmes and the Hentzau Affair is a wonderful blend of detective story and rousing adventure yarn

Sherlock Holmes has been portrayed on screen more often than any other character in history.This beautifully produced book is the definitive illustrated guide to the films and television series featuring the master detective, with an unprecedented collection of colour and black and white stills, posters, lobby cards and behind-the-scenes shots, including much rare and previously unpublished material.

Jeremy Brett's portrayal of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective is widely recognised as the best yet seen. Before his untimely death in 1995, Brett had made the part his own, all the time battling against the manic depression which had plagued him for many years. Bending the Willow examines how this brilliant actor channelled the demons of his debilitating illness into his iridescent portrayal of Sherlock Holmes.

In this fascinating and perceptive study, David Stuart Davies draws on the many conversations he had with Jeremy Brett and key people involved with the Granada Television series and the stage play 'The Secret of Sherlock Holmes'. The result is the first detailed assessment of all of Jeremy Brett's performances as Sherlock Holmes.

Fully illustrated with more than fifty photographs, some never before published, Bending the Willow is an important addition to the libraries of Sherlock Holmes followers, and Jeremy Brett fans alike.
