Question: should I read all of the original sherlock holmes stories first before tackling Anthony Horowitz's adaptations?
The story would stand alone without reading Conan Doyle's originals, but yyou'll enjoy it more if you understand some of the allusions and back stories.
Catherine Deveney, author of Dead Secret and brilliant investigative journalist.
Growing up wasn’t a process; it was a moment. It was the moment I watched Daddy die. Everything began to unravel then.

The House of Silk
Anthony Horowitz
An elderly Doctor Watson narrates one of the cases of the famous Sherlock Holmes; a case so shocking in subject he felt he couldn’t reveal its details during their lifetimes. Art, America, opium, a lost little boy and The House of Silk. The game is afoot, one final time.
I am not pretty. I am not beautiful. I am as radiant as the sun.

The Three Musketeers
Alexandre Dumas
The glorious adventures of d’Artagnan and his three best pals Athos, Porthos and Aramis, set in Paris during the seventeenth century. The mysterious Milady and the dastardly Cardinal Richelieu.

Human beings, on the other hand, are reluctant to leave the larval stage, preferring to spend their lives polishing their carapaces.
Cornelius Medvei - The Making of Mr Bolsover
The Making of Mr Bolsover
Cornelius Medvei
Civil servant, turned librarian, turned the South Downs’s own Thoreau. The political biography of a revolutionary maverick, or madman, or modern misfit, or local politician, or natural philosopher, told largely through the reminiscences of Mr Bolsover’s nephew. There is a brilliant scene with a badger in a council meeting.
Deep in the forest a call was sounding, and as often as he heard this call, mysteriously thrilling and luring, he felt compelled to turn his back upon the fire and the beaten earth around it, and to plunge into the forest, and on and on, he knew not where or why; nor did he wonder where or why, the call sounding imperiously, deep in the forest.

Jack London
