From the bestselling team of Derrick Belanger and Brian Belanger
comes a fun filled mystery adventure for kids of all ages. It is
London, 1897, and a pleasant dinner with a very special friend,
Sherlock Holmes, is shattered by a terrific explosion that plunges
10 year old twin detectives, Emma and Jimmy MacDougall, into an
adventure that threatens all they know and love. A mad man,
possessing a remarkable airship the size of two circus elephants,
threatens not only the famous 221B Baker Street house, but all of
England, even the world! The great Sherlock Holmes cannot solve
this mystery alone. It is up to the MacDougall twins, to use their
wits and amazing detective skills, to find the hidden airship and
foil the plans of the Mad Airship Bomber!
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is one of those authors whose literary
creation is much more famous than the man himself. Those who do
know the name Arthur Conan Doyle tend to know him only as the
inventor of the world's greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes. A
smaller segment of this group goes further and remembers Doyle as
the inventor of the great detective who squandered his fame with
crackpot beliefs in faeries and the supernatural. Sadly, there is
so much more to the man who revolutionized the writing not just of
detective fiction but also of the genre of horror, the
supernatural, and even influenced history itself. This two volume
anthology's point is to put Doyle back on the pedestal he so
rightly deserves. Its aim is twofold. First, to introduce readers
to Doyle's lesser known (yet no less important) works. These works
speak for themselves in showing a master writer at his craft. The
stories are timeless, enjoyable, and hopefully will lead to new
fans embracing a great author's somewhat forgotten tales. The
second aim is to show the relevance of Doyle's works. Through a
collection of articles written by current scholars and experts,
readers can see just how revolutionary Doyle's writings remain even
today.
