#ReadThis @RylandPeters #WhomYouKnow Sherlock Holmes's London by Rose Shepherd
Peachy exploring London, where she is still interested in American cars...
Sherlock Holmes is one of the most fascinating characters in print, and Gillette's Castle is one of our favorite spots (everyone knows what character William Gillette played, especially if you are sophisticated enough to read Whom You Know).
London is absolutely the second city of Whom You Know after Manhattan, and Peachy Deegan once lived and worked there. Too bad she did not have this book then! If you also have a high familiarity level of London, you'll appreciate the fantastic details and if not, you can look at the maps. It opens in a sensible center starting spot and evolves intelligently throughout the city in a well-organized fashion. From our specific perspective, it has given us a lot of review suggestions so if you own a business that is featured in this book, we want to hear from you.
A phenomenal amount of quality research went into this work, and even if you have not read the books and are also into the Sherlock BBC / PBS Masterpiece series, you will have a shared appreciation for the virtual journey this book takes you on inbetween two covers.
Season One, our review:
Season Two, our review:
Author Rose Shepherd, whom we do not know (yet), pinpoints with total accuracy the spots to see with the perfect historical context that elevate the experience of reading the book. The pictures support the text ideally and do not overpower the wisdom. Written at a high level, Sherlock Holmes's London is a must to bring on your London trip and also to have on your coffee table, if only to go there while you sip your PG Tips, or better yet, drink your whisky.
Sherlock Holmes's London is Highly Recommended by Whom You Know.
Walk the streets of London in the footsteps of literature’s most famous – and enduring – detective, the immortal Sherlock Holmes. From his fictional home of 221B Baker Street to the wharves and warehouses of the east end, you will see much today that is unchanged since Arthur Conan Doyle first created his much-loved sleuth. Other features of Edwardian London may be buried a little deeper, but can still be uncovered if you know where to look. With maps showing the general outlay of the areas covered in each chapter, and photographs of the modern-day streets and buildings of London, you'll be able to explore the city on a self-guided tour dedicated to the Sherlock Holmes of the stories, the films, and the television adaptations.
