Sherlock: Chronicles, by Steve Tribe

Series: None Released: 6th November 2014 Pages: 320 Source: Christmas Gift Buy it: Official BBC Shop // Amazon Book challenge: A non-fiction book

“A visually stunning and comprehensive guide to the hit BBC series,Sherlock: Chronicles tells the full story of the show as you've never seen it before. “Packed with exclusive unseen material, including all-new interviews with the cast and crew, this is Sherlock from the ground up: from story and script development to casting, sets, costumes, props, music and more. Each episode of the spectacular three series is remembered by those who made it, from the show's dazzling debut in A Study in Pink to this year's breathtaking finale, His Last Vow. “Featuring over 500 images of concept artwork, photographs, costume and set designs, and more, Chronicles is the ultimate celebration for Sherlock fans everywhere.”

I have a fascination with the behind-the-scenes of things I am passionate about; if it’s anything from Harry Potter to West-End shows, you can bet that I want to learn more about it. So when I received this book as a Christmas present last year, I couldn’t wait to begin.

Sherlock: Chronicles documents the events of modernising the infamous tales of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes in order to create the wildly popular BBC show. Not only do you get to see the behind-the-scenes shots of the production, but you can also see concept art for the Hound of the Baskervilles and interviews with the cast and crew members.

There is no detail spared in this book, as every page is filled with little things to truly immerse you in the world of Sherlock Holmes.

A useful feature of the book is the comparison between the original stories and the screenplay. The amount of detail that is carried over from Doyle’s tales to the show is astonishing, as all of the information remains intact (despite the hundred-year difference in the setting). There is no doubt left in your mind that Moffat, Gatiss and the rest of the Sherlock crew care so much about preserving the wonder of the original adventures.

This book is the perfect gift for every Sherlock fanatic. Even if they have no interest in the interviews, the behind-the-scenes photos and pages of scripts are interesting enough for everyone.

Return of Short Reviews

Doctor Who: The TARDIS Handbook by Steve Tribe I expected - for obvious reasons - the book to focus exclusively on the TARDIS and information (or speculation) directly related to it, but half the book was descriptions of the Doctor's regenerations, a brief history of the Time Lords, Eleventh Doctor episode summaries, companion bios, etc. While there is some fun stuff, let's just say I was a little disappointed.

The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore by William Joyce Originally an animated short film of the same name, The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore has beautiful illustrations and a wonderful story that book-lovers will appreciate. I read this the other day and, then I watched the film, and I was completely blown away by them both. They are both absolutely incredible.

Alias: Shadowed by Elizabeth Skurnick Alias (tv show) prequel series, book 12 A mission goes awry and Sydney is suspected of being a double agent. It's pretty obvious early on (to the reader) who the real bad guys are, though how and why doesn't come out until later, and then rather oddly in some alternating perspective first-person chapters. It's a stylistic device that isn't entirely effective; it's unclear if the text is supposed to be written, like a journal entry, or spoken, like an extended internal monologue. As usual, a fun story for fans of the tv show but not a particularly good book.

Reading History from a Carrot...

Coming 27th September is Doctor Who: A History of the Universe in 100 Objects by James Goss and Steve Tribe – a novel and brilliant look at the Doctor’s life through his most memorable objects.

Each object tells a story whether it's a fob watch at the onset of the Great War or a carrot growing on the first human colony on Mars. Taken together, they tell of empires rising and falling, wars won and lost, and planets destroyed and reborn.

A History of the Universe in 100 Objects is an indispensable guide to the most important items that have ever existed - or that are yet to exist.

Albert DePetrillo, senior editorial director for BBC Books, is clearly enchanted by the idea:

“How do you convey the size and originality of the Doctor Who universe? It seems impossible, but James and Steve's book is perhaps the best place to start. They've selected 100 items from the history of the show and used them to tell a huge - and hugely enjoyable - story.

Anyone wanting to explore the deeply creative world of Doctor Who will love it – and Peter McKinstry's stunning artwork helps make this the ultimate gift for Doctor Who fans.”

Doctor Who: A History of the Universe in 100 Objects by James Goss and Steve Tribe is available to pre-order from Amazon for release on the 27th September for £17.00
