Book excerpt: Sherlock Holmes Jazz Age Parodies and Pastiches II: 1925-1930 collects 43 pieces published during the last part of Arthur Conan Doyle's life. Some were written by schoolboys, reporters, and other amateurs, but many professional writers turned out stories, such as Edgar Wallace, August Derleth, Stephen Leacock, and Frederic Dorr Steele! We've also included the stories' original art and more than 430 footnotes identifying obscure words, historical figures, and events that readers were familiar with then but are forgotten today. Peschel Press' 223B Casebook Series - named because they're "next door" to the original stories - is dedicated to publishing the fanfiction created by amateur and professional writers during Conan Doyle's lifetime.
