Description

This fictional biography celebrates the most famous friendship ever recorded. In the course of tracing its development, June Thomson gives fascinating insights into the personalities of these two very different individuals whose relationship was to last for over forty-six years.

Those interested in the many theories which surround the canon, such as the dating of The Hound of the Baskervilles or the location of 221B Baker Street, will find answers here. In addition, June Thomson supplies suggested chronologies to help with the vexed question of dating, as well as supplying two intriguing theories of her own concerning the identities of the King of Bohemia and the second Mrs Watson – both of which have been the subject of much debate among Sherlockian scholars.

Those who have enjoyed the accounts of Holmes and Watson’s adventures will find this book indispensible in providing a detailed and enthralling account of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s two immortal characters.
