Not your typical Sherlock Holmes adventures . . . .
Nick Dunn-Meynell's new collection, A Proof Reader's Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, contains twelve sequels - of sorts - to each of the original stories in The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes, which first appeared in The Strand from 1891 to 1892.Within this book, you'll find a series of conversations between Holmes and Watson, each immediately taking place at the conclusion of one of the Adventures.
These aren't typical Sherlockian pastiches - the reader won't find new investigations in the traditional manner. Rather, these stories take the inconsistencies and contradictions to be found in those original twelve Canonical Adventures and pull them apart, twist them, double back on them, and construct them into something that's sly and new and thoroughly thought-provoking.
These efforts are dense with material and are filled with Easter Eggs for the perceptive Sherlockian. The author's subtle sense of humour and affection for Holmes and Watson peeks through at every turn, and there are references in each of the individual stories that refer to the others within this collection, giving hints of a bigger narrative at play. Reading these cannot and should not be hurried. They must be pondered.
And in addition to the Sherlockian aspects, Mr. Dunn-Meynell has managed to weave references to works of art from London's National Gallery into each story, pointing out their own hidden or ignored aspects, symbols, and meanings.
There's much to enjoy and ponder about these stories. Some will catch you by surprise and make you laugh out loud, while others will leave you painfully aware of contradictions and mistakes that have been previously ignored in The Canon.
These aren't typical Holmes adventures, but they are worth the time to savour and explore. Enjoy . . . .

The crucifixion of Jesus: dreadful mistake? Tragic failure? Irrelevant? Absurd? An embarrassment? The cross of Christ is, in fact, at the centre of God's plan for men and women. 'Cross examined' explains why. Using a wealth of illustration, Mark Meynell looks with freshness and clarity at the Bible's teaching, to show how God himself 'cross-examines' us in the death of Jesus. At the cross, God exposes our deepest need, meets it fully and enables us to live transformed lives.

Описание: Excerpt from Essays Yet, except that it is overtaken and put to death In these acc ssible places, the Wild summer growth of Rome has a prevailing success and vi tory. It breaks all bounds, flies to the summits, lodges in the sun, swings in the Wind, takes Wing to find the remotest ledges, and blooms aloft. It makes light of the sixteenth century, of the seventeenth, and of the eighteenth. AS the historic ages grow cold it banters them alike. The flagrant flourishing statue, the haughty fagade, the interrupted pediment (and Rome is chiefly the city of the interrupted pediment) are the opportunities of this vagrant garden in the air. One certain church, that is full of attitude, can hardly be aware that a crimson snap dragon of great stature and many stalks and blossoms is standing on its furthest summit tiptoe against its sky. The cornice of another Church in the fair middle of Rome lifts out of the shadows of the Streets a row of acci dental marigolds. Impartial to the antique, the mediaeval, the Renaissance early and late, the newer modern, this wild summer finds its account in travertine and tufa, reticulated work, brick, Stucco, and stone. A bird of the air carries the matter, 'or the last sea-wind, sombre and soft, or the latest tramontana, gold and blue, has lodged in a little fertile dust the Wild grass, Wild wheat, Wild oats About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
