When Buffalo Bill Cody''s horse is stolen, the star of the world''s foremost wild west show travels to Baker Street to consult the star of the world''s foremost consulting detective agency. Like many before him, Colonel Cody takes Sherlock Holmes to be that star. The true sage of 221B Baker Street, who also serves as its landlady, takes control of the situation, and finds both the purloined animal and the two children who had taken the horse for a joy ride 1903 style. When their father is murdered weeks later, the children fear they will be blamed because of their quarrel with him. They run away to join the wild west show leading Colonel Cody to make a return visit to Baker Street-this time with the two children in tow, and to enlist Holmes in the search for a murderer. Mrs. Hudson, will, of course, once again take charge, once again without acknowledgement of her contribution, once again maintaining the fiction of Sherlock Holmes''s leadership, an essential pretense in the male dominated world of Victorian England. As Mrs. Hudson and her colleagues work to discover the murderer, they will find themselves having to counter an anti-Indian bigotry that places at risk the marriage of friends of Mrs. Hudson''s from the wild west show, and Mrs. Hudson''s very life. With the help of her two young horse thieves, now happily rehabilitated, Mrs. Hudson may yet find the way to a just and rewarding outcome.

In The Lost World, Edward D. Malone, a newspaper reporter for The Daily Gazette, has been assigned to write an article on the irascible Professor George Edward Challenger who has recently returned from South America with unbelievable accounts of prehistoric life on a remote, uncharted plateau deep in the heart of the Amazon. The scientific community in London believes that Challenger is a fraud, so the professor plans a new expedition to establish the veracity of his claims. He asks for volunteers to accompany him, and Malone steps forward in hopes that the perilous journey will impress the woman he loves. They will also be joined by the wealthy adventurer Lord John Roxton and the sceptical Professor Summerlee, who hopes to prove that Challenger is in fact a charlatan. This classic tale by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, helped establish the genre of science fiction and has inspired, since its first publication in 1912, numerous stories, novels and films. THE LOST WORLD RE-IMAGINED: In this volume, the original and unabridged text of The Lost World is accompanied by sixty-five charming colour photographic illustrations featuring custom designed models built using only LEGO┬« brand minifigures and bricks.

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.
