Sherlock Holmes and Conan Doyle Locations: A Visitor's Guide

摘要

Among the many relerence guides to Arthur Conan Doyle's famed consulting detective Sherlock Holmes, there are few purely topographical and geographical guides to the places, locations, and points of interest specifically mentioned in the Holmes stories. Experienced Edinburgh tour guide Allen Foster has stepped in to offer readers a handy, highly usable handbook of sites central both in the Sherlock Holmes accounts and in Conan Doyle's own life. Sherlock Holmes and Conan Doyle Locations: A Visitor's Guide stands poised between an academic reference to the key places connected to both author and his creation and a travel guide with modern photographs of the locations and contact information for the many tourists seeking to follow in Holmes's footsteps and revisit the scenes of his most notorious cases. This title therefore serves as a useful supplement to a large collection of Holmesiana and the mystery genre, as well as well as libraries with large holdings in travel books for Scotland and England.
