For the Sake of the Game: Stories Inspired by the Sherlock Holmes Canon by Laurie R. King and Leslie Klinger     272 pages

Stories told by authors other than Sir Arthur Conan Doyle telling tales in various genres, times and forms all about Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson and characters associated with the famous duo.   I have to say I was a bit skeptical at first but this book does not disappoint.   Every story here is a good one.   Imagination flows freely and like a group of witnesses sharing their takes on a situation you will be surprised and amused by what comes of it.  I highly recommend this one to all Sherlock and Dr. Watson fans.   Fans of mystery and artistic bent readers who love to see a work of art come from an idea.   All writers should give this one a look too.    So many minds here trying their hand at established characters and they do marvelous well at it.  No matter how young, I think all want to be writers will come away with inspiration.
