Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
In the original stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, mention is made of certain cases, unwritten but certainly of interest.. Mr. Rymsha has taken these titles (and some original ones) and developed the adventures into the cases here. You will find the Giant Rat of Sumatra, Wilson, the Notorious Canary-Trainer and others.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson both shine in this collection of stories. The stories are original, while remaining true to the Canon. Read it and enjoy!

While it was good to finally have a case (story) for some of the lost cases, they were generally disappointing. I was amazed at their length, or lack of. I was very disappointed

I thought once I had already read the worst Sherlock Holmes pastiche ever written. That was only for a novel. In short stories, this one takes the prize out and away. There is so little crime or detection that one wonders why the name of Sherlock Holmes is even associated with the book. However, the last four stories are much better than the rest of the book. My advice to the author, Mr. Alvin F. Rymsha, would be that should you choose to write further stories, use the last ones in this volume as your pattern for the new ones. The very first ones read like underdone tripe. The Raven does not mince words. Quote the Raven...

Overall I enjoyed this book. It was very much phrased in the Victorian vernacular. But I must say the cases typically lacked a true sense of mystery. Most of the cases simply stated the general issue behind the case and then Sherlock Holmes simply confirmed the suspicion. Perhaps the short stories simply lacked the development necessary to pull the reader into a sense of mystery and suspense.
