About the Book

The Unofficial Sherlock Holmes uncovers a lesser-known side of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the legendary creator of Sherlock Holmes. While most readers are familiar with the iconic detective stories, Doyle also penned several other mystery tales that were influenced by the brilliant detective's character traits. These lesser-known works are collectively referred to as the "Unofficial Sherlock Holmes" stories.

This book offers translations of several such stories, where the shadow of Sherlock Holmes is visible in the characters and the narrative structure. Along with these intriguing tales, the collection also includes two unique Sherlock Holmes stories that are not typically included in any comprehensive Sherlock Holmes anthology. These stories showcase Doyle’s remarkable versatility in weaving suspenseful plots and complex characters.

In addition to the short stories, this collection also features two plays, where the central character is none other than Sherlock Holmes himself. These works offer readers an exciting mix of mystery, drama, and insight into the mind of one of literature’s greatest detectives.

Altogether, The Unofficial Sherlock Holmes is a must-read for fans of Doyle’s writing, offering both familiar and fresh adventures of the legendary detective, allowing readers to explore the world of Holmes from a unique perspective.
