Resurrecting Holmes Readers find it difficult, if not impossible, to imagine that their favourite authors can grow tired of a series character, writes RUTH RENDELL
Delightfully exquisite A visually delightful book which reveals rare archival material and fascinating stories.
Scheming siblings Although the plot does seem interesting initially, it is soon overshadowed by elaborate accounts of silly games, nonsensical banter and royal sport.
Puff the magic dragon A book with the potential to be interesting, ruined however by inane details of endless 'joint' sessions.
