Entertaining Holmes pastiche,
By
This review is from: The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Stalwart Companions (Paperback)
Entertaining Sherlock Holmes adventure in which the young Holmes visits New York City as an actor and teams up with a pre-presidential Teddy Roosevelt to solve a crime. Not among the first rank of Holmes pastiches, but good fun for a rainy afternoon.

review of The Stalwart Companions,
By Melvin Anderson "author Diabetes?What's That?" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Stalwart Companions (Paperback)
The book starts out as though it were an attempt to prove Sherlock Holmes were a real person. Once past that introduction the story continues in a fair rendition of a copy of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, particularly as to the deductions Holmes persues to solving his cases. The time is 1880 and the deductions are appropriate to that time frame as apparently are the mindset of the characters, again utilizing the time to show the attitude towards the major and minor criminals of the time as well as the attitude towards the poorer levels of some of the people in New York City and the attitude towards the politicans of the time. Since Theodore Roosevelt is one of the characters a fair chatacterization may be expected.
