Hardback. Condizione: New. Dr. Watson was the chronicler of every Sherlock Holmes adventure published in The Strand magazine between 1887 and 1927. He reported them with honesty in the bluff, army-style of a military doctor, so frank in their account of human behaviour that they were too risqué for the morals of Victorian Englan…d. George Newnes, the editor, purged each story before its publication. Newnes also replaced Watson's jocular illustrations with Sidney Paget's more innocuous portrayals.Newnes deleted everybody's backgrounds but in these accounts Watson reveals Holmes's family: his father, Professor Julian Cornelius Bortzoy Holmes; his wife, Wendy; his sister, Rachel, as well as Mycroft. Watson also exposes Mrs. Hudson's property empire and he tells us how Professor Moriarty became "the Napoleon of crime." Some of this new material is shocking, even by today's standards!These unexpurgated stories are new, exciting and funny - even Holmes's deerstalker has a story behind it. They are for lovers of Sherlock Holmes and a new audience who have experienced the great detective and the good Doctor at work, and, in this, at play.Book 6 - Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson bump into one another in an infamous opium den in East London. Holmes is on a commission from a lady in Kent to find her husband, who has gone missing. For no apparent reason, they travel to her family house in Kent and spend a bizarre night of bumpiness, but by dawn Holmes has made a startling deduction. They travel back to London, to Bow Street police station, where they reveal the culprit and a solution to the mystery. When they go in search of breakfast afterwards, they encounter Professor Moriarty, who always starts his working day even earlier than the famous detective duo.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Dr. Watson was the chronicler of every Sherlock Holmes adventure published in The Strand magazine between 1887 and 1927. He wrote them with fastidious accuracy and honesty, so frank in their detailed expression of true human behaviour that they were too risqué for the public morals of the late Victoria…n era. George Newnes, the editor of The Strand magazine, spent many sleepless nights expurgating each story before its publication. Newnes also discarded Watson's colourful pictures portraying lively action scenes throughout each submission; they were replaced with more innocuous monochrome illustrations.Newnes's editing process removed references to Sherlock Holmes's background and ancestry. The same goes for all of the leading characters. Maybe Newnes thought that accounts of individual backgrounds distracted the reader from the exposition of each story? We do not know. In these recently discovered unexpurgated accounts, we meet Holmes's family and learn about his heritage. Being the narrator, Dr Watson reveals his inner self in intimate detail, followed closely by "the master detective" himself. We find out about Mrs Hudson and how she came to own 221B Baker Street, and how Professor Moriarty became the master criminal of the Victorian underworld. Some of this new material is quite shocking, even by today's standards, let alone those of 19th century England.By way of an example, here is the original and unexpurgated version of 'The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle.'Book 7 synopsis: It is later December in 1889. A battered old hat is the only clue to the mysterious disappearance of a Christmas lunch. But when Sherlock Holmes lays out the facts of the case, Watson finds them incorrigible. A startling revelation at 221B Baker Street adds the dimension of a jewel theft, which sends the detective duo on a tour around central London where they encounter two of the three hazards on the bucket-list of life that a gentleman must never do. The clues that they uncover brings them back to Baker Street for a seemingly infeasible conclusion.

When they return to 221B Baker Street they find Professor Moriarty in attendance.

Events of the night before have sent the City banker into a frenzy and he starts to tear his hair out in front of the great detective. Holmes and Watson travel to south London, to the modest home of their new client, only to find a dispirate family at loggerheads over something that went bump in the night. The finger of guilt is pointed firmly at the client's son but Holmes thinks differently and launches himself into the mystery whilst Watson evokes an extraordinary metal-bending practice from his army days in India, with calamitous results. The adventure ends with an initiation for Dr. Watson to The Diogenes Club.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Dr. Watson was the chronicler of every Sherlock Holmes adventure published in The Strand magazine between 1887 and 1927. He reported them with honesty in the bluff, army-style of a military doctor, so frank in their account of human behaviour that they were too risque for the morals of Victorian Englan…d. George Newnes, the editor, purged each story before its publication. Newnes also replaced Watson's jocular illustrations with Sidney Paget's more innocuous portrayals. Newnes deleted everybody's backgrounds but in these accounts Watson reveals Holmes's family: his father, Professor Julian Cornelius Bortzoy Holmes; his wife, Wendy; his sister, Rachel, as well as Mycroft. Watson also exposes Mrs. Hudson's property empire and he tells us how Professor Moriarty became "the Napoleon of crime." Some of this new material is shocking, even by today's standards! Book 8 synopsis, the day after a gathering of Sherlock's family at 221B Baker Street in which Horatio - Sherlock's violin - makes its debut, Miss Sharon Stoner engages the great detective to find out why her sister, Sandra, died in suspicious circumstances two years previously. Now, she is in fear of her own life. Holmes and Watson accompany their terrified client to her family home in Leatherhead where they have to overcome an irascible stepfather, a baboon, a cheetah and something much more deadly.

Events of the night before have sent the City banker into a frenzy and he starts to tear his hair out in front of the great detective. Holmes and Watson travel to south London, to the modest home of their new client, only to find a dispirate family at loggerheads over something that went bump in the night. The finger of guilt is pointed firmly at the client's son but Holmes thinks differently and launches himself into the mystery whilst Watson evokes an extraordinary metal-bending practice from his army days in India, with calamitous results. The adventure ends with an initiation for Dr. Watson to The Diogenes Club.
