 | The Seven-Per-Cent Solution: Being a Reprint from the Reminiscences of John H. Watson, M.D. (Norton Paperback)
Buy new: $11.16 / Used from: $0.69 Probably the best Holmes pastiche ever written, or at least the best I've come across. Very well written, fascinating book.
|
 | The Original Illustrated 'Strand' Sherlock Holmes (Wordsworth Special Editions) by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $2.28 The best way to read these stories is with the accompanying illustrations from their original publication in the Strand magazine.
|
 | The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes by Vincent Starrett
Buy used from: $1.81 A Canon companion, but so much more. Starrett obviously knows Canon like the back of his hand and it shines through in this work. It was literally a treat to read.
|
 | Exploits of Sherlock Holmes by Adrian Conan Doyle
Buy used from: $5.18 Writtn by Adrian Conan Doyle,some missed the mark but most were well written, plotted, and enjoyable. Many were reminiscent of Canon.
|
 | Holmes for Holidays by Martin Harry Greenberg
Buy used from: $9.20 There were a few good ones in here, as well as a few duds; but the good ones were memorable, fun stories that I've re-read a few times over.
|
 | Murder in Baker Street: New Tales of Sherlock Holmes
Buy new: $14.00 / Used from: $0.01 This was one compilation where I actually was able to get through most of the stories! "A Hansom For Mr. Holmes" was probably my favorite, being original and well written.
|
 | Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Granada Television Series (12 DVD)
Buy new: $110.99 / Used from: $122.84 This is *the* definitive Sherlock Holmes adaptations. Jeremy Brett IS Sherlock Holmes. I have watched these episodes more times than I care to count, but I always find something new in his portrayal.
|
 | Sherlock Holmes: The Sign of Four/Triumph of Sherlock Holmes/Murder at the Baskervilles
Buy new: $5.98 / Used from: $2.99 The Arthur Wontner movies will not dissapoint. He is fantastic as Holmes, something about the way he delivers his lines and how he is strikingly similar to Paget's illustrations.
|
 | The Sleeping Cardinal (1931)
Buy new: $14.95 The first of the Wontner SH films, this is also one of the best, despite the sometimes grainy quality of the film. And Ian Flemming as Watson is WONDERFUL!
|
 | Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $6.79 This is actually surprisingly endearing, especially for a low budget 1950s series. I adore H. Marion Crawford as Dr. Watson. This series is worth watching for him alone.
|
 | The Hound of the Baskervilles
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $4.97 Not a classic, and does have some strange deviations towards the end from the story, but Peter Cushing does a great job as Holmes. I love his mannerisms & attention to detail.
|
 | The Great Mouse Detective
Buy used from: $38.00 This. Was. ADORABLE!!!
Surprisingly accurate to the stories, as well, with several references to the SH Canon throughout. Basil of Baker Street was more in character than some Holmes actors :) Great animation, as well.
|
 | Alvin And The Chipmunks - The Chipmunks Go To The Movies
Buy used from: $6.75 ... because of the episode "Elementary, My Dear Simon" ...
This is the original Alvin & the Chipmunks series from the 1980s, NOT the recent computer animated movies. My first real exposure to Sherlock Holmes. As an 8yr old kid, it made me start reading "A Scandal In Bohemia", so I have a soft spot for this episode.
