in 1892 - Philip St. John Basil Rathbone (13 June 1892 - 21 July 1967). Through 14 films and countless hours of radio, his cinematic portrayal of Sherlock Holmes stands as the most iconic and influential media representation of the character in the latter half of the 20th century.

Finished it yesterday! It's a bit bare bones and too quick, but the 2nd half ties everything together nicely. Seeing Holmes be a reclusive crime solving enthusiast was a breath of fresh air after seeing so many exaggerated adaptions in tv and film!

If you don't have lots of money (like me) but are immersed with other fans in Conan Doyle, it is very easy to understand why people would buy a forgery at a "too good to be true" price. An important expose of forgeries, ACD, and eBay:
