Mrs Hudson's diaries: a view from the landing at 221B

These are diaries of Sherlock Holmes's landlady, the unflappable Mrs. Hudson, humorously describing life with the great detective and his ever-faithful companion, Watson. With mysterious visitors, disappearances, shouts, and bangs, life below stairs at 221b is silly, slapstick, and sentimental in equal measure. This affectionate and hilarious sketch of a remarkably enterprising Victorian female and her equally remarkable tenant is a must-have for any Sherlock Holmes aficionado. Behind every great man is an even greater woman . . . demanding rent!
