| Sherlock Holmes has been portrayed on screen more often than any other character in history. This new book is an illustrated guide to the films and television series featuring the master detective, with an unprecedented collection of colour and black and white stills, posters, lobby cards and behind-the-scenes shots, including much rare and previously unpublished material. Every Sherlock Holmes film and TV series is covered (including foreign and lesser known productions), from the silent movies, through the famous portrayals of Basil Rathbone and Peter Cushing, up to the celebrated television series starring Jeremy Brett and beyond. Also covering the stage and radio works, the Holmes world and Conan Doyle himself, this book is simply a must for any Holmes fan. David Stuart Davies is one of Britain's leading Sherlockian writers. He is the editor of Sherlock Holmes: The Detective Magazine, and the author of four Holmes novels, the hit play Sherlock Holmes: The Last Act, and an acclaimed biography of Jeremy Brett. |
