SHERLOCK HOLMES and the Adventure of the Clothesline by Carolyn Wells Paperback 0-934468-60-5 A classic parody. Illustrated by Frederic Dorr Steel. Edited and Preface by William-Alan Landes. Holmes convenes a simply penny-dreadful assembly of turn-of-the-century dime-novel detectives to explain a comically mysterious event. "A delightful, Holmes adventure. It is easy to see from Dr. Landes' gem of a prefacewhy it was written, magazine published and so well received. I wish his preface and Ms. Wells' play were both longer. I just wanted more. Marvelous for libraries, collectors, and, of course, Sherlockians." SHOWCASE
