About this title

Synopsis

R. Holmes And Company: Being The Remarkable Adventures Of Raffles Holmes, Esq., Detective And Amateur Cracksman By Birth (1906) is a novel by American author John Kendrick Bangs. The book is a parody of the Sherlock Holmes and Raffles series, featuring a character who is a combination of both detectives. The story follows the adventures of Raffles Holmes, a detective and amateur thief, as he solves various crimes and engages in daring heists. Alongside him is his loyal assistant, Bunny Manders, who narrates the story. The book is filled with humor, wit, and satire, as Bangs pokes fun at the conventions of detective fiction. The novel is a fun read for fans of both the Sherlock Holmes and Raffles series, as well as anyone who enjoys a good parody.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
