"Sherlock Holmes: The Hero with a Thousand Faces" provides a comprehensive look at the sustained popularity of Sherlock Holmes, from the character's rise to fame in the pages of "The Strand Magazine," to the theatrical, film, and television appearances in which the character has been reinvented over and over again. Using extensive contemporaneous accounts and reviews, Volume One explores the process by which Sherlock Holmes evolved from being merely a character in detective stories into a genre, industry, and global phenomenon all his own.
