A scandal in Bohemia: annotated Holmes edition

157 notes, a bibliography of 57 books with works by Boucher, Carr, Chesterton, Christie, Hoch, Rawson and other master for a new annotad edition of Baker Street's adventures.

Baker Street’s first short story is also one of the best known; an airy adventure novel (investigation is really negligible) that nevertheless gives to its readers two essential elements in the Holmesian mythology.

The first, unrepeated (she no longer appear in the Canon) and unrepeatable, is obviously the woman - Irene Adler. Thousands of pages were written about her; and doubtless umpteen more will be written. A remarkable achievement for an opera singer.
Irene is definitely the second or third most famous female name in detective literature; a presence which is always appreciated by the public also in the most recent (and, unfortunately, often stereotyped) interpretations.

Second pearl instead, already masterfully sketched in “The sign of Four”, is London. Doyle completes and refines Dickens frescoes and carries dragons and poetry in the nineteenth century; this is the foundation of an urban epic where a new hero, with his squire, protects all of us.
