Book Reviews of Starring Sherlock Holmes: A Century of the Master Detective on Screen
Book Review: "It's a Bonny Thing..."
Summary: 5 Stars
At first I'd intended describing this as a coffee table book - large, glossy, lavishly illustrated - until I realised that it wouldn't be lounging on any coffee table of mine for very long without my hot little hands snatching it up again. A well-respected Holmesian, Mr. Davies has succeeded in producing a book containing enough data to entertain the Holmes enthusiast, yet written in a readable enough style to engage the casual browser who remembers seeing a few Basil Rathbone films at the flicks. Stage productions, film, tv and radio are all covered here, in words and illustrations, so you're sure to find Holmes featured in your own favourite incarnation. Even the dust jacket can be reversed to refelect your preference either for the deerstalkered Mr. Rathbone or the dashing Mr. Brett. The book is a treasure trove, and as a record of the Great Detective's life in the limelight thus far, it is a must for any Holmesian's bookshelf. Or coffee table.
