Michael Pointer catalogues and describes the full sweep of Holmes's appearances across theatre, film, radio, and television, presenting a meticulous record of how the world's most famous detective was interpreted, reimagined, and celebrated across more than a century of popular entertainment. From the earliest stage adaptations of the late Victorian era to the golden age of Hollywood and beyond, the book details the performers, productions, and creative forces that shaped the public face of 221B Baker Street.\n\nPointer writes with the authority of a dedicated Sherlockian scholar, grounding his survey in careful research while maintaining an infectious enthusiasm for his subject. The Public Life of Sherlock Holmes stands as an invaluable reference for devotees of the Canon and students of popular culture alike, illustrating just how deeply Holmes has embedded himself into the fabric of modern storytelling — and leaving the reader to wonder which incarnation of the great detective has yet to emerge from the fog.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130656170203,"sku":"2026200010249-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/23a4ccaa-73f5-44fc-806b-350b4828c844.png?v=1786588072","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010249-secondhand-the-public-life-of-sherlock-holmes","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
