The Secret Documents Of Sherlock Holmes - June Thomson

A pretty ordinary collection, really, not helped by the author's propensity to put square bracket type footnotes throughout the text as informative asides. You want to do that, fine, but do it at the end, or end of the story. Rather painful to put up with, at times.

The conceit is this is a newly discovered collection of Watson's work that was supposedly destroyed decades ago.
