The Count of Monte Cristo as Retold by Sherlock Holmes begins with
a condensed retelling of The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre
Dumas, related through the voice of Sherlock Holmes. It includes
exhilarating new adventures, characters, and ideas, carrying the
reader through book I leading to book II and with book III
promising an ever-expanding new series based on the classic. The
author consulted the original French as well as the oldest English
translations of The Count of Monte Cristo, but the style of the
retelling, in the distinctive voice of Sherlock Holmes, constitutes
a new work. Books II and III, soon to follow, are wholly original
sequels although they include characters from the original classic.
The author of The Count of Monte Cristo as Retold by Sherlock
Holmes enjoyed the 2003 translation by Robin Buss of the The Count
of Monte Cristo, which helped to inspire both this work and the
first sequel in this series, The Sultan of Monte Cristo. The most
recent (2003) unabridged translation by Buss is indispensable to
fully appreciate the original story. Those who have already had the
pleasure of reading The Sultan of Monte Cristo will certainly
appreciate the unique way in which the Holy Ghost Writer has
expanded the original story without the help of anyone (except
perhaps from the ghost of Dumas himself). While The Count of Monte
Cristo has been enjoyed by millions as a stand-alone work, this
work is an even easier read of the original classic, as it has a
condensed version of the original story, uniquely retold in the
voice of Sherlock Holmes.
