Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Asbury, Sophia (illustrateur). Neuware - While most of us discover Sherlock Holmes in our teens there are those fortunate few who encounter the Great Detective even earlier and those benighted souls who discover him later.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'I think my wife might be right. I am going slightly mad.'Hounded is an escape from the anxiety of reaching a half-century, written during the pandemic of 2020 and into the spring of 2021, during which comedy writer Vince Stadon experienced every film, TV, audio drama, spoken word reading, documentary, stage play, pastiche, graphic novel, animation, kids cartoon, and PC game version of The Hound of the Baskervilles.A quirky, funny and unique memoir about Spectral Hounds, Consulting Detectives, panic attacks and way too many cats, Hounded is a bewildered middle-aged man's silly odyssey through a binge experience of every conceivable version of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's celebrated novel.As the world darkens and he gleefully immerses himself in the fiction of the fog-drenched mystery, Vince Stadon undertakes a marathon of the most famous Sherlock Holmes story of them all; he makes deductions, adopts disguises, sends anonymous 'Beware the moor' letters to Canadians, steals footwear, learns Sherlock Holmes's favoured martial art, and he tracks the Hound across the melancholy moor during those dark hours when the forces of evil are exalted.Along the way, Vince remembers his childhood, tries to understand his mysterious and troubled father, gets to grip with chronic anxiety, and strives to keep sane and calm during a pandemic.Written in tweets, poems, songs, extracts from proposed 80's Hollywood blockbuster action films, prog rock lyrics, very silly stage plays, and far too many irrelevant and irreverent footnotes\*, Hounded is the funniest book you'll ever read about a bloody big ghost hound that's dogged a man all his life.\* A ridiculous number of footnotes.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Asbury, Sophia (illustrateur). Neuware - I wrote this book because I wanted to share my love of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson with my grandchildren. I firmly believe that there is a bit of Holmes in all of us, and this coloring book will allow youngsters to see a bit of themselves in the Great Detective.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - January 1888: Dr. John H. Watson has returned to 221b Baker Street, just weeks after a personal tragedy has left him bereaved and bereft. Feeling like a broken man, his plans and dreams lying in ruin, he slowly tries to make his way forward, with the help of Sherlock Holmes and Mrs. Hudson. Unexpectedly, he finds himself standing in the path of a madman - who suddenly and irrationally blames Watson for his apparent defeat.Meanwhile, Holmes has tried to distract his grief-stricken friend by telling stories of his past cases, including how, a decade before, he recovered a mysterious relic - The Eye of Heka - stolen from the British Museum. But Holmes's plan to show Watson this unique and ancient idol goes suddenly and terribly wrong as both are swept into a series of events, one tumbling rapidly upon another, that lead to thefts, murders, and possibly a war that might quickly escalate to draw in nations from most of the world. And always there is the madman in the shadows - waiting for his next chance to attack . . . .From The Not Elektronisches Buch of Dr. John H. Watson comes another story by Sherlockian David Marcum, author of over eighty traditional Holmes pastiches, including those collected in The Papers of Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes and A Quantity of Debt, and Sherlock Holmes - Tangled Skeins.Join us as we return to Baker Street and discover more authentic adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the man described by the estimable Dr. Watson as 'the best and wisest . . . whom I have ever known.'The game is afoot!
