A Comparison: Mr. Doyle and Dr. Bell and A Letter of Mary.
This paper describes the two books as they pay homage to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Howard Engel in Mr. Doyle and Dr. Bell, and Laurie R. King, in A Letter of Mary, both make attempts to add to the Sherlockian canon. They succeed to varying degrees. This paper will examine the narrator, protagonist, and setting of each novel, comparing them to Doyle's template, and then discuss briefly which is the more meritorious addition to the repertory. 7 pgs. 15 f/c. 3b.
