But when reading their many adventures, it's not just the heroes themselves that make the stories so wonderful. It's the Victorian and Edwardian worlds in which they lived, and the many people with whom the interacted - those well known, like Mycroft Holmes, Mrs. Hudson, and various Scotland Yard inspectors, and others who may have just crossed the stage for a short time before vanishing. All of these Occupants of the Canonical Realm have value, whatever the depth of their roles, and this new set of Holmes stories celebrates them.Once again MX Publishing brings us fifty-nine adventures in three simultaneously published volumes, each with some level of participation by individuals who initially appeared in The Canon. Perhaps this person is a major player, or possibly he or she is only mentioned in passing. In the meantime, the reader can be certain that the True Holmes and Watson of these books are the Canonical Heroes one deserves and expects.All royalties from these books go to support the Undershaw school for special needs children, located at one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's former homes.Join us as we return to Baker Street and discover more authentic adventures of Sherlock Holmes, described by the estimable Dr. Watson as "the best and wisest . . . whom I have ever known."Each volume contains forewords by Dan Andriacco, Roger Johnson, Emma West, Steve Emecz, and David Marcum

That was the largest collection of new Holmes stories ever assembled, and originally planned to be a one-time event. But readers wanted more, and the contributors had more stories from Watson's Tin Dispatch Box, so the fun continued.Now, with the release of Parts XLIII, XLIV, and XLV, the series has grown to over 900 new Holmes adventures by over 200 contributors from around with world. Since the beginning, all contributor royalties go to the Undershaw school for special needs children, at one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's former homes, and to date the project has raised over $120,000 for the school.As has become the tradition, this new collection of 63 adventures features Holmes and Watson carrying out their masterful investigations from Holmes's life before meeting Watson, to the early days of their friendship in Baker Street, all the way to World War I. Along the way, they are involved in some fascinating mysteries that progress along completely unexpected lines.Join us as we return to Baker Street and discover more authentic adventures of Sherlock Holmes, described by the estimable Dr. Watson as "the best and wisest . . . whom I have ever known."

Doctor John Watson tantalisingly informed us, in The Problem of Thor Bridge, that a box full of unpublished adventures of Sherlock Holmes had been left in the vaults of Cox & Co. of Charing Cross. However, what Watson neglected to tell us was that more than one such box existed, containing accounts of the great detective which had hitherto remained unknown, save for cryptic hints dropped by Watson in the published stories.Hugh Ashton, recognised to be one of the leading writers of Sherlock Holmes pastiches, edited Watson's manuscripts from the first box and prepared them for publication. This formed the "Deed Box" series of adventures, with the second box forming "Dispatch-Box" series. After these two boxes originally belonging to Doctor Watson had been examined and the stories therein edited by Ashton, a third box was discovered, containing a pipe, a Persian slipper, and a battered Gladstone bag. The bag in its turn contained many notebooks. These notebooks held accounts, in Watson's almost illegible doctor's handwriting, of more cases of the most famous of all sleuths, most of which have now been edited and published in volumes of the MX Book of Sherlock Holmes Stories.Fourteen of these adventures are brought together here in one volume for the first time.The book also includes a foreword by eminent Sherlockian and editor of the MX Volumes, David Marcum.The stories are traditional in style and plotting, remaining faithful to the Canonical originals, but add depth to the characters of Holmes, Watson, and those around them, while taking nothing away from the originals by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

At the age of ten in the mid-1970's, David Marcum discovered Mr. Sherlock Holmes, and from that point, he knew that the original 60 Canonical adventures would never be enough. This, coupled with his life-long desire to write, meant that eventually he would find a way to add new stories to The Great Holmes Tapestry.Since then, in addition to editing over 80 volumes (most of which are Sherlockian anthologies), David has written and published over 100 Sherlockian adventures in a variety of his own books, as well as anthologies and magazines. Now these are being collected - along with a few others that haven't been seen before. These first five volumes of The Collected Papers of Sherlock Holmes contained 77 of David's Holmesian stories, and now we present Volume VI - Muniments - with 21 more Join us as we return to Baker Street and discover more authentic adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the man described by the estimable Dr. Watson as "the best and wisest . . . whom I have ever known."
