In 2015, The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories burst upon the scene, featuring traditional Canonical adventures set within the correct time period, and written by many of today''s leading Sherlockian authors from around the world. Those first three volumes were overwhelmingly received, and soon there were calls for additional collections. Since then, their popularity has only continued to grow, and the series is currently up to 36 massive volumes (and more in preparation!) with over 750 new Holmes adventures from over 200 contributors worldwide.
Since the beginning, all royalties from these volumes have gone to the Undershaw school for special needs children, (formerly known as "Stepping Stones"), and as of mid-2022, the books have raised over $100,000 for the school, with no end in sight.
From the very beginning, members of The Baker Street Irregulars stepped up to contribute, providing stories, poems, and forewords. Now, in this collection, we present something from nearly all of those previous BSI contributors and, as always, the royalties go to support the Undershaw school.
These stories, poems, and forewords, along with the those in the original 36 volumes of The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories, represent some of the finest new Holmesian storytelling to be found, and honor the man described by Watson as "the best and wisest . . . whom I have ever known."
Stories, Forewords, and Poems in this volume have previously appeared in Parts I - XXXVI of The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories.
All royalties from this collection are being donated for the benefit of the preservation of Undershaw, a school for special needs students located at one of the former homes of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
