Product Description:
From the annals of the Norwegian Explorers of Minnesota comes a most unusual collection of essays, poems, and dramas illuminating the lives of Holmes's and his archenemy Moriarty. Here too, is a rare look into the Minnesota scion of the world renowned Baker Street Irregulars. Hard to find, this book is a true collector's item.

Rated by buyers -
This book is written by Sherlockian Rolf Canton. He is obviously a huge fan of Holmes, and has put this book together with a great degree of enthusiasm. However, it lacks the most important ingredient: skill.
The book itself is a odd hodgepodge of things: the best thing is the opening essay, 'The Moriarty Principle', which looks at the role and importance of Moriarty in defining Sherlock Holmes. Then we have lots of photos of the Norwegian Explorers of Minnesota, a Sherlock Holmes fan club, poems (more or less - there is a lot more to poetry than just getting things to rhyme!), some essays of aspects of the Holmes canon and related matters (including an examination of whether Holmes' assigned birthday of 6 January really suits the astrological sign that would be his), some scripts and fiction.
Sadly, it really isn't worth the cost of the book overall.
