Gdy Watson w pośpiechu przybywa na wezwanie i dowiaduje się, że sprawa dotyczy nieposłusznego psa jakiegoś profesora – jest rozczarowany. Wkrótce jednak okazuje się, że Holmes tak naprawdę docieka przyczyn dziwacznego zachowania właściciela psa. Profesor podobno prowadzi sekretną korespondencję, chodzi na czworakach, a nawet wspina się po zewnętrznej ścianie domu. Jego bliscy nie rozumieją, jak ani dlaczego to robi. Jedno jest pewne: z profesorem Presburym dzieje się coś nienaturalnego.
Tom dwudziesty ósmy z serii klasycznych opowieści detektywistycznych Arthura Conan Doyle’a o Sherlocku Holmesie w uproszczonych adaptacjach dla dzieci. Idealna propozycja dla młodych wielbicieli zagadek i kapitalne wprowadzenie do klasyki.
I'm the author of over 50 books for children plus an historical novella for adults.
I have been published by such companies as Puffin, Andre Deutsch, Hamish Hamilton, Cambridge University Press, Anglia Young Books and Poolbeg Press, and I'm currently working on my third series for Sweet Cherry Publishing.
I have been teaching creative writing, as well as copy-editing and proof-reading, for over 15 years, and also do manuscript appraisals at very competitive rates.
This was one of the oddest Sherlock Holmes ones I’ve read and it was impossible to solve too, I literally had no clue at all what was going on in this one. It was so fascinating.
The case was already open to Holmes but now he needed Watson’s help to solve it, with the evidence being all sporadic little pieces none of which seem to connect they have a tough one but with the family becoming increasingly scared by their dad, Holmes and Watson must figure it out.
I really enjoyed this one due to its oddness,it was a total mystery to me and I’m still not sure I’ve solved it even after reading, it’s such a strange one and I loved reading about this case of the creeping man.
I really love these easy classics as they share a really fun classic story or mystery but cut down into bite size piece that make it so much easier to follow.
