Item Details
Description
The Weirdly Thrilling Adventures of the Lost Bathing Suit, a 1908 Sherlock Holmes Pastiche.
1992, Limited Edition of 50 by Jezail House. This copy is 15 of 50.
The Publisher introduction: The Lost Bathing Suit is perhaps the rarest published Sherlock Holmes pastiche. It lay unnoticed by Sherlockian scholars in a museum archive for some 55 years. After being salvaged from the dust bin of a state historical society in 1963, it was again forgotten in a private collection. Perhaps literary critics would wish that it continue to be lost, as its flavor, plot, and execution are devoid of merit. It is a misshapen comedic pot-boiler, a vignette of the period, and is so execrable it becomes almost charming. The Lost Bathing Suit is reminiscent of the silent short film comedies early this century. It is reprinted solely for the amusement of those Sherlock Holmes bibliophiles who might agree, Its a S.O.B., but its our S.O.B.!
