This book is a wonderful gift for all fans of the famous Sherlock Holmes. Written in a style reminiscent of its creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, it tells a truly detective story about how a young Scottish doctor became a world-famous writer, and his hero became the greatest detective of all time. Immersing the reader in the atmosphere of Victorian England, Michael Sims introduces him to the literary and scientific world of the late 19th century, introduces him to Arthur Conan Doyle’s inner circle, to his medical and literary laboratory. “Nothing is more important than the little things,” writes the author. And there are a lot of them in this book: numerous unknown facts from the life of Conan Doyle, details of the activities of the prototype of Sherlock Holmes, analysis of the “marketing” techniques used in the “promotion” of novels and stories about the great detective, revolutionary for their time, and much more.
