Excerpt from Buried Caesars: Essays in Literary AppreciationI have no wish to hide behind a greater name, and what blows may be directed my way I shall not attempt to deﬂect to other shoulders; but I am genuinely eager to associate my name with that of the man whom I have delighted to call Master, and whose kindly encouragement and active support enabled me to enter a field already vastly overcrowded.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Private Life of Sherlock Holmes

History & Criticism

Haskell House Pub Ltd

"The greatest book about Sherlock Holmes that has ever been written!" That's what Julian Wolff, legendary leader of The Baker Street Irregulars, wrote about The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes. Its publication in 1933 inspired and motivated those kindred spirits to come together as The Baker Street Irregulars. In his introduction to this edition, Ray Betzner writes "The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes gave a permanent profile to the playful examination of the Holmes stories by blending literary criticism, historical analysis and childlike imagination with adult wish fulfillment. More than that, Private Life became a rallying point for those who dabbled in this playful criticism, encouraging others to make their Holmes devotion public. Over the years, it remained a beloved favorite and cornerstone work in any Holmes collection. Much of what has been written about Sherlock Holmes in the intervening 75 years can trace its roots back to this one book." Featuring a beautiful cloth binding and dust jacket, this enhanced 75th Anniversary Edition adds scholarly commentary and appreciation to a complete facsimile of the rare, original 1933 first edition. Crack the cover of this magical book and experience first-hand how generations of Sherlockians have been transported to "that romantic chamber of the heart, where it is always 1895."

Excerpt from The Unique Hamlet: A Hitherto Unchronicled Adventure, of Mr. Sherlock HolmesHis eyes gleamed and he rubbed his hands to gether in profound satisfaction. I could not but hope that Holmes's conjecture was correct, for he had had little to occupy his mind for some weeks, and I lived in constant fear that he would seek that stimulation his active brain required in the long-tabooed cocaine bottle.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
