The immense talent, passion and literary brilliance that Conan Doyle brought to his work gives him a unique place in English letters… Personally, I’d walk a million in tight boots just to read his letters to the milkman. (Stephen Fry )
Now, as in his lifetime, cab drivers, statesmen, academics, and raggedy-arsed children sit spellbound at his feet… No wonder, then, if the pairing of Holmes and Watson has triggered more imitators than any other duo in literature (John Le Carre ) Why do people still read Sherlock Holmes in an age of DNA testing and electron microscopes? It’s elementary. Holmes has a timeless intelligence that puts him head, shoulders and deer-stalker above all other detectives (Alexander McCall Smith ) Holmes is a mesmerising creation and Conan Doyle a master storyteller (The Times ) I read every Sherlock Holmes story…they have certainly found a permanent place in English literature (Winston Churchill ) The brilliance of the stories lies in the relationship between Holmes and Watson, which is both funny and touching (Jonathan Coe ) The world’s most famous detective (Ruth Rendell ) |
