Part 2. The Apocryphal Tales
The following is a selective list of stories, novels and “biographies” featuring Sherlock Holmes written by others than Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The list is not complete, as that would fill a book in itself, but it focuses on those stories which are faithful to the life and career of Sherlock Holmes and do not attempt to distort the facts. It excludes all science-fiction and fantasy-based adventures and for the most part those incorporating characters from other works of fiction. Most of the cases are apocryphal but are included for completeness. It excludes those stories written about other characters who feature in the Holmes stories but where Holmes is not central to the story, such as the very fine Irene Adler books by Carole Nelson Douglas. The items are listed in author order; books are in italics, short-story titles are in quotes. I have added occasional notes where the title is not self-explanatory.
Altamont, Brett Spencer and Altamont, Dorian David. Draco, Draconis. Florence, Italy, MySher Altamont Publishing, 1996. A beautifully produced novel set in 1895 and introducing the young nephew of Moriarty.
Andrews, Val. The Beekeeper, The Fair, The Fowlhaven Werewolf, The Last Reunion and The Carriage Clock, all New York, Magico Press, 1983. Five booklets suggesting incidents in Holmes’s retirement.
Andrews, Val. Sherlock Holmes and the Egyptian Hall Adventure. Romford, Ian Henry, 1989. Set in 1898 where Holmes investigates Maskelyn’s theatre of mystery. Although almost certainly apocryphal this story has much to commend it.
Andrews, Val. Sherlock Holmes and the Brighton Pavilion Mystery. Romford, Ian Henry, 1989. Set in 1906. Andrews has also written Sherlock Holmes and the Greyfriars School Mystery (London, privately published, 1993), a wholly apocryphal but rather fun spoof which brings together Holmes and Billy Bunter in the year 1912.
Andrews, Val. Sherlock Holmes and the Houdini Birthright. London, Breese Books, 1995. Set in 1922 and entirely apocryphal but a tempting combination of Holmes and Houdini. For further books by Val Andrews see under John North.
Baring-Gould, W.S. Sherlock Holmes, New York: Clakson N. Potter, 1962. A purported biography of Holmes which is great fun and occasionally hits on the truth.
Barr, Stephen. “The Procurator of Justice”, Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, February 1950. One of the many apocryphal attempts to explain the disappearance of James Phillimore.
Barrie, James M. “The Adventure of the Two Collaborators”. A humorous spoof, written for Arthur Conan Doyle personally in 1893 and not intended for publication, but which so amused Conan Doyle that he called it “the best of all the numerous parodies” and printed it in his own autobiography, Memoirs and Adventures, London, Hodder & Stoughton, 1924.
Bedford-Jones, H. “The Affair of the Aluminium
