This is an extensive look at the #history of everything #SherlockHolmes
From the inception of the character all the way to the BBC's series with #BenedictCumberbatch
True Sherlockians will enjoy this book but casual fans may grow weary because BostrĆ¶m digs deep into the details and history of how Doyle's estate was handled after his death.
As a fan of Holmes I learned quite a bit and it was well worth my time.

I really enjoyed this part-bio of Arthur Conan Doyle and part-journey through the evolution of Sherlock Holmes through time and different media. It‘s a chunky 500 pages but goes by quickly. I realized that I‘m more of a Sherlockian than I thought I was, having read or watched a good three-quarters of what was mentioned in this book (and having attended the SH exhibition where I got this cool bookmark)! š•µš¸¼ā€¨ā™‚ļø¸

#TBRtemptation post 1! Recently released. Translated from Swedish. What make Sherlock Holmes, dreamed up by a small-town doctor in the 1880s, into such a lasting success, even when the author attempted to escape his own invention?! The full story from Doyle to the hit tv series is revealed. A medical professor, the world's first literary agent, a princess, & many others are involved in this celebration. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook šˇ

BrainyHeroine I read an ARC of this, it is truly special for Doyle and Sherlock lovers. 7y
