Sherlock Holmes-Far And Wide is a compilation of Gretchen Altabef's somewhat broader short stories and one play, originally published separately in anthologies and now collected in this volume. "Sir Arthur & The Time Machine" grew out of the crucible Arthur Conan Doyle faced during his decision to write "The Adventure of the Final Problem". When the Belanger Brothers called for stories for their anthology, Sherlock Holmes Further Adventures in the Realms of H.G. Wells, Ms Altabef was inspired to write her first Sci-Fi story. It received Fiction Honours from the ACD Society.
