- Summary
- This new collection of tales adapted from original plays written for NBC radio in the 1940s by the eminent mystery writer and critic Anthony Boucher, along with writing partner Denis Green, casts the world's greatest literary detective in thirteen too-long-forgotten and never-before-published mystifying adventures.
- While the radio plays-which in the 1940s starred Basil Rathbone as the brilliant, eccentric master of deduction and Nigel Bruce as his loyal Dr. Watson-were based on characters and cases created by Arthur Conan Doyle, they entangled Doyle's villains and victims in continually new puzzling intrigues and perilous situations. Unparalleled among the plays written for the popular radio series, which ran for two decades (1930-50), are the sixty or so scripted by the ingenious Anthony Boucher.
- Thirteen of Boucher and Green's radio plays have here been skillfully recrafted by H. Paul Jeffers into absorbing short stories. The product of a remarkable collaboration between Conan Doyle in the first quarter of the twentieth century, Boucher in the second, and Jeffers in 2004, The Forgotten Tales of Sherlock Holmes weds notable talents from several literary generations to continue detective fiction's greatest legend.
