Sherlock Holmes: The Man Who Never Lived and Will Never Die

London's ambiance resurrects the immortal Sherlock Holmes.

If you relish the intrigue of Holmes and the atmospheric lure of Victorian London, then this tome is a treasure. It's as if London itself rises from the foggy pages to co-star alongside the great detective. This isn't just another Holmes mystery; it's a historical dance through the city that spirited the stories to life, curated with fascinating artifacts and visuals. If the Holmesian mythos enthralls you and you have a penchant for the authentic and historical, this book could very well be a sublime addition to your collection.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Over 150 stunning archive photographs and paintings illustrate this mesmerising guide to London, seen through the eyes of Arthur Conan Doyle and his most famous character. Ever since his creation, Sherlock Holmes has continued to enthrall his readers and audiences: he is the world's favourite fiction detective and is indelibly linked to London. From the handsome cabs hurtling through the city streets and thick fogs shrouding long lines of terraced houses, this was Sherlock's London. It was a city at the nexus of a vast Empire and one of the wealthiest, largest and most populous of its day. Through early film, photography, paintings and original artifacts, the book explores the real Victorian London which was the backdrop for many of Conan Doyle's stories. Richly illustrated by the museum's unrivalled collection and authoritatively written by Alex Werner, David Cannadine and other leading authorities on London, this book appeals to anyone who loves this beguiling city and wants to explore it as it was when Sherlock Holmes was brought to life.
