Book Description

February 27, 2012
The uniqueness of this book is the essays and activities that include both serious and farcical writings about Arthu Conan Doyle's, Sherlock Holmes. A travelogue that compares Reichenbach Falls and Trummelbach Falls for Professor Moriarty's demise; and notes from a visit to Trinity College at Oxford to view Monsignor Knox's writings and entries in the Gryphon Club Book provide the reader with engaging insights into Sherlock Holmes' world of scholarship.

Format:Paperback
Those of us who admire and follow the world of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, as created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, readily admit to a weakness to read and collect everything written on and about our hero Holmes. The great Sherlockian John Bennett Shaw once said he had the selectivity of "a vacuum cleaner" when it came to anything Holmesian. With the explosion of popularity surrounding Holmes and Watson, brought about by television (PBS: Sherlock) and movies (Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law), there is a subsequent flood of literary material. One of the best for my money is Dr. Marino Alvarez's book, A Professor Reflects on Sherlock Holmes. This masterful little paperback is one of those "begin anywhere" books, not necessarily meant to be read cover to cover, where you quickly find yourself engrossed in Dr. Alvarez's clever thinking. I found it hard to put down, not because of plot, but because it makes me think about the Sherlock Holmes stories and the cerebral approach to problems presented in the canon, the complete collection of 60 stories by Doyle. "A Professor Reflects on Sherlock Holmes" has become one of those books I go back to again and again, just as I reread the original stories over and over. I'm always finding something new and elementary.
