Shades of Sherlock

Trevor S. Raymond is a teacher and librarian with the Peel Board of Education and editor of Canadian Holmes.

Patrick Campbell is a 74-year-old retired aeronautical engineer, a
philatelist, and a longtime president of The Bimetallic Question, a
Montreal Sherlock Holmes society. His first book is strictly for
devotees of Sherlock Holmes who can’t get enough of their hero, even
in counterfeit.

Shades of Sherlock features a brief radio play about Watson’s escape
from the Battle of Maiwand in his pre–Baker Street days, three
passable Holmes pastiches (each considerably longer than the average of
the original 56 short stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle), eight papers
(six of which have been published previously in Sherlockian journals in
Canada and Switzerland), and a short glossary. There are several fine
drawings by Paul Churchill and the French cartoonist Jean Pierre Cagnat,
who also did the dust-jacket caricature of the author; unfortunately
neither artist is acknowledged in the book.
