If you have ever read "A Scandal in Bohemia" and wondered what Watsons allusion to "Mr. John Hare" means... if you arent sure who was in charge in southeast Asia when Mycroft Holmes mentions "the present state of Siam"... if youre wondering about Watsons portrait of General Gordon or Holmess Vernet relatives or what Scottish expert on poisons Scotland Yard consulted when the Baker Street duo werent available... this is your book. It provides oneparagraph biographies of 800 reallife Victorians and Edwardians who strolled down Oxford Street near Holmes and Watson or figured in the newspapers they read. That mention of Blondin on the roof at Pondicherry Lodge? Arthur Conan Doyles literary friends? The King of Scandinavia? The British commander at Maiwand? Enquire within.
