Description
Now you can follow in the footsteps of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in and around London. Recaptured in sepia prints from the late Victorian era and stunning full-color photographs of the city as it is today, you walk down the same streets as Colonel Sebastian Moran, the Baker Street Irregulars, and the Greek Interpreter. Join Holmes as he takes in an evening of Wagner at Covent Garden Theatre. Stand in the very room at St. Bartholomew's Hospital where Dr. Watson first meets the great detective in A Study in Scarlet, and travel down the fogshrouded Thames in pursuit of Jonathan Small from The Sign of Four. London has changed since the days when the sun never set on the British Empire, but you can still see where Holmes battled that Napoleon of crime, Professor Moriarty, unraveled the mystery of The Noble Bachelor, and the woman, Irene Adler. Ride double-decker busses where horse-drawn broughams clopped through the night; visit a replica of the sitting room of Holmes and Watson at the pub The Sherlock Holmes; drink a pint in Moriarty's Baker Street Station. They're all here and more in photographs and maps, supplemented by the incomparable engravings of Holme's foremost illustrator, Sidney Paget. Holmes fans and armchair travelers alike will rejoice with this full-color photographic odyssey through the London of the world's first consulting detective.
