1001 Sherlock Holmes Stories & The Best of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

FOOTPRINTS ON THE CEILING A SHERLOCK HOLMES PASTICHE by JULWS CASTIER

17 Mar 2024

Description

There are hundreds of Sherlock Holmes stories written by other authors, but only a handful are in the public domain. This one was written by Jules Castier wile in a German prison during WWI and published in 1920. The story was a part of a collection of pastiches Castier wrote mimicking famous authors of the time- and the publisher wrote to each author asking for a foreword- many responded. The book is rare- it is titled 'Rather Like....Some Endeavors to Assume the Mantle of the Great . In this podcast I ask anyone who gets the book to let us know which authors wrote forewards and to share a few with us- my email: [email protected].  Authors parodied are : F. Anstey, Arnold Bennett, Hall Caine, G. K. Chesterton, Joseph Conrad, Marie Corelli, Arthur Conan Doyle, John Galsworthy, Charles Garvice, Sir H. Rider Haggard, Henry Harland, Maurice Hewlett, Robert Hichens, E. W. Hornung, W. W. Jacobs, Henry James, Jerome K. Jerome, Rudyard Kipling, William Le Queux, W. J. Locke, Jack London, Leonard Merrick, Henry Seton Merriman, Henry Newbolt, Eden Philpotts, R. W. Service, George Bernard Shaw, Robert Louis Stevenson, Elizabeth von Arnim, E.
