DESCRIPTION:
Holmes Fan said Holmes meets Mark Twain - Very well done indeed!. I’ve been reading the works of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, often better known as Mark Twain, since I was a boy. The first film I ever saw in a movie theatre was “Huckleberry Finn”, a magical trip with my dad that I’ll never forget. My dad bought me a set of six hardback Twain books when I was about just six or se. and it's damned good stuff. It's also quite ingenious Fil's Fax With apologies to Mark Twain, this is a real "double-barreled" detective story, and it's damned good stuff. It's also quite ingenious. The more you get into it, the more literary layers you find, like petals that have to be peeled back to figure out the parts of the story that come together. We learn something about American literatur. Mr. Holmes and Mark Twain: A great meeting Daniel D. Victor’s series “Sherlock Holmes and the American Literati” treats the adventures of various American authors whose paths took them to places where Sherlock Holmes lived and worked. “Seventeen Minutes to Baker Street” portrays Holmes getting involved with one Samuel Clemens, also known as Mark T
Clemens had. In this recently discovered narrative, Doctor Watson sets the record straight. Yet Sam Clemens not only unraveled Holmes' investigation into the murder of the hot-blooded woman on Thor Bridge, but also, while writing as Mark Twain, belittled Holmes' highly-touted detecting skills. He reveals other crimes related to the original murder while relating what prompted Clemens in a 1902 short story to deride the famous detective. For that matter, Holmes had never met a writer who fancied himself a detective. Sherlock Holmes had never met a writer who had ridiculed him as bitterly as Samuel L. Spurred on by such criticism, as well as by clues discovered in a classic tale by Bret Harte, Sherlock Holmes begins a new investigation, one that leads Holmes and Watson from the gardens of Windsor Castle to the spires of Oxford University in their efforts to track down a deranged assassin bent on wreaking even more havoc.
