What is In the Footsteps of Sherlock Holmes about?

Michael Harrison, in this his most widely acclaimed book of Sherlockian scholarship, uses the deductive powers of Holmes himself and delves into the lat Victorian period, discovering a wealth of material about the master detective's life and times.Along the way, Harrison recreates Victorian England so vividly we hear the sound of hansoms on cobblestones, see the rush and bustle of the crowded streets, and breathe the very air shared by Holmes and Watson.Harrison is remarkable in tracing the footsteps of the greatdetective. By piecing together geographic clues as well as knowledge ofLondon in the 1890's, he attempts to find the location of the storiesin current (1958-1970) London. The book was first written soon after WWII, and memories of the bombing of some locations still resonate. Forthe Londoner these locations may be familiar, but for those on this sideof the pond, a few maps would have really helped. So the reader mightwant to find one or use Google maps. The writing is best when Harrisonallows himself to speculate about Holmes; for example being an orphan(and reluctances to appreciate home); his compassion at Christmas, orthe attractiveness of different cases to him.
