Soft cover. Condition: New. 92 pages. During the great hiatus, Holmes travelled extensively and in late 1893 returned to France and spent some time in research into coal-tar derivatives . . . conducted in a laboratory at Montpellier in the south of France . The Society has regularly visited Switzerland and this tradition of European expeditions was continued with a visit to France in 1993. This book is a celebration of that expedition and of Sherlock Holmes s many French connections. First and former, Holmes has a French grandmother. He was regularly retained by French clients or upon cases which took him to that country. For one such successful conclusion, he was awarded the Legion d Honneur and received an autographed letter of thanks from the French President. Thanks to a dazzling array of contributors from distinguished Holmesians from around the world you will learn the true significance of France in the remarkable life of Mr Sherlock Holmes.
