Fourteen stories, all in classic style, introduce Holmes to new clients with strange and quirky problems. Clues to a fortune are hidden in a ludicrous painting, a modern mummy walks, and a novel tourist attraction holds the key to why an unattractive lady is suddenly pursued by an amorous admirer. Sherlock Holmes and his faithful companion Dr. Watson embark on some of their more light-hearted cases, investigating the disappearance of a world-famous circus star, retrieving precious gems, rescuing kidnapped infants, and making sure that Father Christmas pays a proper visit to an impoverished child
