Did you ever wonder where Sherlock Holmes found the Persian slipper he
keeps his shag tobacco in? Had Holmes and Watson ever met before that
day at St. Barts? Did Holmes really believe in curses when he said he
did?
Dr. John Watson reveals the answers to these questions in The Persian
Slipper and Other Stories along with cases involving the putative Naval
Man, a night spent at a gentlemen's club, Holmes' second marriage
proposal, a movable tree, and a surprising wedding ending.
Eight traditional pastiches with a touch of fantasy here and there were
published in Holmes anthologies at Belanger Books in the US and MX
Publishing in the UK. Brenda Seabrooke is the author of 22 books -
