Ross K Reviews "The Lighter Side Of Sherlock Holmes"

28/9/2013

Today I review "The Lighter Side Of Sherlock Holmes" by the late Norman Schatell put together by his son Glenn Schatell.  A cartoon Holmes book with over 300 drawings within.  Norman was a widely respected Holmesian artist particularly in the 1970's who sadly died before he was able to publish his works into a book although his works had appeared in magazines and journals to critical acclaim within the Holmesian community. 


Thankfully the artwork has not been lost to the new age Holmesian world though after all thanks to Glenns efforts.

Today I review Kieran McMullens "The Many Watsons"
"There is always a healthy interest in the actors who have played the role of the world's most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes. But Sir Arthur Conan Doyle also created the world's best known sidekick, Dr. John H. Watson. The men and women who played the role of stalwart ally is quite an eclectic gathering. Here is compiled a listing and discussion of some of the best known people who have played the part of Watson from the earliest days of silent film to the action heroes of the 21st century".

A murder is committed on Baker Street in broad daylight, and the culprit is captured, but one man still has his doubts.

Today I review the sequel to one of the worst Sherlock Holmes books I have ever read.

How bad could it be? I mean sequels give the author a chance to iron out kinks and learn to grow thier skills as writers...so with this in mind what could possibly go wrong...
