Sherlock's Home, The Empty
House, an
anthology created by my publisher, MX Publishing, to raise money for the Save
Undershaw campaign, is now available in seven languages.
One of the translators on
the Italian version, La Casa Vuota, was Gabriele Caredda. I am proud to say that Gabriele is translating
my Sherlock Holmes short story, "The Peculiar Persecution of John Vincent
Harden," into "La singolare persecuzione di John Vincent Harden."
Thanks to the dedicated efforts of Gabriele and 39 other volunteer
translators, the translations of Sherlock's Home were released on Amazon UK
this week.
The original English language book was created last year to raise awareness
for the effort to preserve Undershaw, the home where Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote
The Hound of the Baskervilles and other great stories. It was produced by Sherlockology and MX Publishing within four weeks.
Volunteer editors culled entries from more than 300 writers/actors/fans
from around the world to select 40 stories/poems/writings. Contributors
included Holmes actors Stephen Fry, Mark Gatiss, and Douglas Wilmer. The cover
marks the first time that four iconic Holmes portrayers appeared together on a
book over.
