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.
I love the simplicity of this version. I recommend it to those who want to read the story, but doesn’t want to get lost in the 19th century English. I found this title at the library, and sadly it was the only one from this series. Now, I’m going to look for the whole collection at my local library. My 14-year-old me is a happy girl!!
An adventurous and fun as usual case . I only rated it 4 stars since at the end, Sherlock Holmes died by falling off the water fall . otherwise it was a good book.
