The strong appeal Sherlock Holmes still exerts on millions of readers all over the world stems in larg part from characteristics he shares with his illustrious creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
For every admirer of Sherlock Holmes, this unique dual profile of the author and his best known literary creation shows how Doyle developed the names and attributes of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, and most interesting of all, how Doyle pursued justice personally in behalf on hundreds of people who came to him for help in criminal matters.
In two famous cases he was called in long after the evidence was stale to save men who had been convicted of crimes they did not commit, and in both instances he succeeded in overturning the verdicts against the strenuous objections of complacent but misguided authority.
In THE MAN WHO WAS SHERLOCK HOLMES, as they did in their popular Sherlock Holmes Companion, the Hardwicks open up for all Conan Doyle readers another dimension, not only of the famous detective, but of the incomparable achievements of his creator and progenitor.
