About this ebook

More parodies have been written targeting Sherlock Holmes than anyone else dead or alive, fictional or real. James M. Barrie, the author of Peter Pan, started it all back in the early 1890's and Sherlockian parody has been coming out regularly ever since, right into the age of the internet.
While Sherlock's creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle lived, close to 400 appeared in Britain and America. In these early parodies, Sherlock is off on the wrong track in the great Coleslaw mystery, struggling with the disappearance of the President's Whisker, rescuing that damsel in distress, Elsa Lohengrin, and even delving into the spirit world---and much more.
Mark Twain, the Mr. Dooley of Finley Peter Dunne, Kenneth Grahame's Ratty of The Wind in the Willows, John Kendrick Bangs, Bret Harte, Ring Lardner, C. K. Chesterton, and O. Henry all contributed to this early Bedside collection. Sherlock turns up at Wellseley College and Yale, Hades and The Garden of Eden, Peoria and the Oklahoma Territory, in the trenches of War I and often in his familiar Baker Street hangout.
Sherlockian Charles Press began collecting these early lampoons as a hobby after retiring from Michigan State University. He is the author of two Sherlockian monographs, Parodies and Pastiches, Buzzing Round Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Looking Over Sir Arthur's Shoulder, and "When Did Arthur Conan Doyle Meet Jean Leckie?" in The Baker Street Journal.

Author

Charles Press

Charles Press Charles Press, an army veteran, attended Elmhurst College, The University of Missouri, and the University of Minnesota. He is a retired Political Science Professor from Michigan State University, and he has authored college text books in his field of expertise. His work required him to travel stateside and abroad, but balance issues gradually set in. This is when he was referred to Don’s “Balance Program.” The inspiration for this book came from his personal battle with balance issues and his eagerness to share his experiences with others. Donald H. Blough Donald Blough has been a practicing Physical Therapist for over 43 years. His undergraduate degree in Health Education was from Slippery Rock State College, and his Physical Therapy training from the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota. Work settings have included schools, hospitals, nursing homes, home health, and outpatient clinics, where balance issues were not a respecter of age. Coauthoring this publication represents a cooperative effort beginning years ago, but presented from two entirely different perspectives.
