    1 janvier 1913 – 10 août 1967

    William Baring-Gould était un auteur et critique reconnu pour son engagement profond envers l'analyse littéraire et l'étude des personnages. Il possédait une capacité unique à sonder la psychologie des figures fictives, explorant leurs motivations et leur place dans le paysage littéraire au sens large. Son approche académique et son œil vif pour le détail lui ont permis d'éclairer les complexités de célèbres créations littéraires. Les perspicaces analyses de Baring-Gould offrent aux lecteurs une nouvelle perspective sur des personnages fictifs durables.

      “Se io non mi diverto nello scrivere un libro, nessuno si divertirà a leggerlo.” Rex Stout A New York, in un anno, avvengono circa seicento omicidi; e secondo la ponderata opinione di Nero Wolfe, se non fosse per lui, Wolfe, “uno su tre” dei casi della Squadra Omicidi rimarrebbero insoluti. Dell’ispettore Cramer, che dirige la Squadra Omicidi, Wolfe dice: “È un uomo eccellente. In nove omicidi su dieci i suoi servigi sarebbero più preziosi dei miei; per fare soltanto qualche esempio, io ho bisogno di osservare orari regolari, non potrei funzionare neppure in modo passabile se non avessi a disposizione della birra ghiacciata, e non sono in grado di correre. Se sono costretto a impegnarmi in uno sforzo fisico considerevole, come il dover uccidere un serpente nel mio studio, mi sento affamato per diversi giorni”.

      1962 Bramwell House hardcover, F printing. William S. Baring-Gould (The Book of Werewolves). William S. Baring-Gould (1913–67) was a devoted Sherlockian whose work on Sherlockian chronology and biography culminated, in 1967, in the publication of THE ANNOTATED SHERLOCK HOLMES. Prior to that, however, in 1962, he published the SHERLOCK HOLMES OF BAKER STREET, the first major biography of Sherlock Holmes, subtitled 'A Life of the World's First Consulting Detective. The biography has been unavailable in a modern edition for many years, and it is a great pleasure, therefore, to offer to modern-day Sherlockians. - Amazon
