“If you love Sherlock Holmes, you’ll love this book … Mattias Bostrom’s From Holmes to Sherlock is the best account of Baker Street mania ever written. Really … what Bostrom has accomplished supremely well is to relate, as his subtitle proclaims, ‘the story of the men and women who created an icon.’ In effect, he shows us how Sherlock Holmes enchanted the world.”―Michael Dirda, Washington Post
“A timely overview of the great detective’s actual genesis and multiple transformation as a mass cultural icon … Riveting … Boström has expertly unearthed entertaining instances of the sleuth’s diverse appearances in all media, throughout the world … [A] wonderfully entertaining history.”―Michael Saler, Wall Street Journal
“From Holmes to Sherlock celebrates the versatility of one of fiction’s most beloved characters … terrific … Mattias Boström has written a necessary addition to any Baker Street library.”―Steve Donoghue, Christian Science Monitor
“For Sherlock Holmes buffs, there’s a new book I imagine is indispensable … Boström’s achievement is staggering and endearingly gossipy. It’s like eating popcorn and you learn a whole lot of cool stuff along the way.”―Nicholas Meyer, author of The Seven-Per-Cent Solution
“Mattias Boström has done the impossible―encapsulated the journey of Sherlock Holmes from international literary superstar to modern day television hero. Meticulous, charming and, best of all, adoring of the original.”―Lyndsay Faye, author of The Whole Art of Detection

Shake up Sherlock
I’m an Embracer. I think you can pretty much do whatever you want with Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. You can’t expect everyone to like it, but you are fully entitled to do it. And I will appreciate every attempt to do something unexpected, a new perspective, congenial or not. I already have the originals, now I want something else, something that will wake me up - no matter if I like it or not. Because if you do take risks and invest your intelligence and time in trying to do clever things with something that is so close to my heart, you will get my embrace. The opposite - i.e. if you don’t do anything at all - is a much more boring alternative. So shake up Sherlock, and I will give you my love.
