This book contains five scripts, three of which I owe a great debt of gratitude to Tony Reynolds as they are adaptations of stories taken from his wonderful book of Sherlock Holmes stories ‘The Lost Stories of Sherlock Holmes’ - The Adventure Of The Medium, The Giant Rat of Sumatra and The Adventure of The Amazonian Explorer.

As for the others, Holmes Alone is a light-hearted romp, that borrows elements and characters from several other Conan Doyle tales. The Mazarin Malediction is my attempt to embellish that oft-maligned story, The Mazarin Stone . Almost always it’s this story in particular that is singled out for harsh criticism. Yet I have always enjoyed the tale, and the others in the collection entitled The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes . Malediction is my homage to ACD’s original, written and performed with great affection and enjoyment.

To paraphrase Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I have wrought my simple plan if I brought one hour of glee to the Sherlock fan, and the Doyle devotee.
