Description

The character of India is one seemingly ever-present in the Sherlock Holmes stories. Visited by Watson – and possibly Holmes – it inspires so many aspects of the Canon, from Moran’s career to Roylott’s menagerie, the betrayal of Henry Wood to the greed of The Four.

In this volume of new writings, eminent Sherlockians share their insights and experiences of India and its myriad connections to the Great Detective.

Herein lie the stories of Holmes’s travels during the Great Hiatus, the military careers of the Watson family, big game hunters, air-gun manufacturers and doctors who have gone to the bad, plus representations of India on film and television and the country’s present-day love affair with the Great Detective.
