This fascinating book is based on a remarkable discovery: Sherlock Holmes' methods of deduction were actually those of his creator and used in order to solve real crimes.

For Scotland Yard, Holmes really did exist in the form of Conan Doyle.

Author Peter Costello draws on new research to follow the tracks Conan Doyle left as he entered the real world of Sherlock Holmes.

His fictional outpourings were the direct result of their author's hidden career as an amateur detective and criminologist.

Na górze okładki: "Keenly intelligent and sparkling with wit...eloquent and continually amusing"- The Times.

Antic Hay is a comic novel by Aldous Huxley, published in 1923. The story takes place in London, and depicts the aimless or self-absorbed cultural elite in the sad and turbulent times following the end of World War I.

The book follows the lives of a diverse cast of characters in bohemian, artistic and intellectual circles. It clearly demonstrates Huxley's ability to dramatise intellectual debates in fiction and has been called a "novel of ideas" rather than people. It expresses a mood of mournful disenchantment and reinforced Huxley's reputation as an iconoclast. The book was condemned for its cynicism and for its immorality because of its open debate on sex.
