We have imported Holmes of the Raj from Indiaand offer it to you with considerable pride. Here is what our reviewer (who, we might add, is not prone to give praise lightly) had to say about the book:. "This is a very charming book. The author tells the adventures of Holmes and Watson in India in a series of interconnected short stories strung together like a string of pearls. Holmes and Watson have been called to India and go with the blessings of The Government. The tales are of politics, blackmail and murder. This book is much better written than a number of pastiches I have read recently and the author provides more of the 'feel' of the original canonical cases. The author has cleverly, and interestingly, interwoven his fiction with real historical events and characters. A skillfully written and entertaining work. It would be a welcomed addition to any Sherlockian library. Highly recommended." It is clear that this author has an extensive knowledge of the Canon as well as Indian, British, and world history. The book contains 211 pages within its rigid binding which has been covered with a multicolored woven cloth imprinted with gold lettering and decoration. The books have actually been hand-bound in a variety of fabric colors and are singular examples of the bookbinders' art (the book you get may not have the same color binding as the one shown here). Only 500 copies of the book have been published! It is a gem of a collectors' item in addition to being a "charming" read.
