The Silly Side of Sherlock Holmes

The Silly Side of Sherlock Holmes A Brand New Adventure Using a Bunch of Old Pictures

Philip Ardagh2005
In The - Not - So - Very - Nice - Goings - On at Victoria Lodge, Philip Ardagh took illustrations from The Girl's Own Paper of the 1890s and used them to tell a brand new tale of intrigue with hilarious results. Now he's at it again, but this time with the original Sherlock Holmes illustrations from The Strand Magazine, to bring The Silly Side of Sherlock Holmes to bathrooms across the nation. A true fan of Sherlock Holmes, Philip Ardagh has always felt that Holmes's humorous side has been largley ignored. The Silly Side of Sherlock Holmes doesn nothing to redress the balance. It's a shameless piece of frivolous fun, which, under test conditions, produced everything from suppressed chortles to out-and-out guffaws. Ideal for everyone from Sherlock Holmes fans to people who quite like reading silly captions. Sometimes. A hilarious look at the little - known side of the great dectective The - Not - So - Very - Nice - Goings - On at Victoria Lodge sold over 23,000 copies Even greater sales potential for this title - there are vast numbers of Sherlock Holmes fans and this title will be the perfect Christmas gift for all of them
