A Holiday Book in Review: Sherlock Holmes the American Years

Sherlock Holmes the American Years Edited by: Michael Kurland
Fiction: mystery, short stories, classics, 344 pages
Book Count: 74

This is a collection of short stories about Sherlock Holmes taking a trip to America as a young man. In some of the stories he is like the Holmes we are all use to, in some he is still learning how to see all the little things that help him solve mysteries. All are written in about the same time frame. In the stories he visits places all around America and into Mexico. He also meets with some famous people like Mark Twain and Edwin Booth (after his brother ruined the Booth name).
