"In writing this life of Holmes he has confined himself to the authenticated facts that Dr. Watson alone was in a position to give the world, but to them he has added the facts of the historical & cultural events of Holme's day. Mr. Keating's method reveals, first, some aspects of the great detecdtive's career that have escaped hitherto even the most minute exegesis. (What, for instance, was the significance of the idle visit to the Bond Street art galleries in the heat of the affair of the Hound of the Baskervilles?) It also presents Holmes as very much a man of his times - a true creation of late Victorian & Edwardian England." With List of Illustrations & index. Check out the scans. . 1st Castle Books Edition . Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Illus. by Front portrait of Sherlock Holmes by Frank Wiles, from "The Valley of Fear". 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾".
