'Engaging dip-into book'
"We wholeheartedly recommend The Sherlock Holmes Companion. It’s a
great celebration of part of our cultural heritage. Smith’s prose
is lucid, economical and informative, and the book is a treasure
trove of details about the world of the famous detective and his
human creator. It’s the kind of book likely to persuade you to
revisit the literary canon once again, and as each generation finds
inspiration from the stories, to remember the richness of the world
that Conan Doyle created. It’s one that resonates with readers and
audiences worldwide to this day."
