More scholarly and humorous Sherlockian writings.
The Complete Baker Street Ballads
by Charles E. Lauterbach
Illustrated by Henry Lauritzen


Charles E. Lauterbach created a great number of light-hearted, humorous poems about The Great Detective - many of them published in The Baker Street Journal. In 1971, these poems, along with new material, were collected in Baker Street Ballads. A second collection, More Baker Street Ballads, followed in 1979. Both of these volumes were illustrated by editorial cartoonist and president of the Sherlock Holmes Club of Denmark, Henry Lauritzen. Lauritzen's whimsical drawings provide a perfect complement to Lauterbach's lighthearted verse. For the first time ever, the entire body of work of the "Bard of Baker Street" is available in a single volume. The Complete Baker Street Ballads assembles both long-out-of-print original collections together with a final, previously unpublished volume, Last Baker Street Ballads. This unpublished material also features original vintage illustrations by Henry Lauritzen. No Sherlockian bookshelf will be complete without this new, expanded edition of classic verse.
