Die Gebete in diesem Buch stammen aus dem größtenteils vergessenen Fundus puritanischer geistlicher Übungen und Meditationen. Sie bezeugen den Reichtum und die Farbe des puritanischen Gedankenguts und dessen Sprache, die einem wichtigen Teil des englischen religiösen Lebens eine lebendige Frömmigkeit eingehaucht hat. Es ist zu hoffen, dass ihre Veröffentlichung dabei helfen wird, der Vernachlässigung dieses riesigen Ozeans puritanischer Spiritualität entgegenzuwirken. Viele damalige Geistliche rieten ihren Versammlungen, private Gebetsgedanken zu Papier zu bringen und auszusprechen.

221b Baker Street is known all over the world, for it’s the address most associated with the legendary Sherlock Holmes! But there was a time before Sherlock Holmes moved to Baker Street, before his fame had grown, when he was still learning his craft and struggling to create his unique profession - the first of its kind - consulting detective! Join some of the finest Sherlockian writers as they explore those early days before Baker Street.

Sherlock Holmes! The very name of the world's greatest detective conjures up images of Victorian London, gaslit streets, hansom cabs, and dense fogs. But there was a time, a dark three-year period, when London had to make do without Sherlock Holmes. From 1891 to 1894, he was presumed dead, having perished during the epic struggle with that infamous Napoleon of crime, Professor Moriarty, atop the Reichenbach Falls. But unknown to most, even his friend Dr. Watson, Holmes survived.

There is a persistent and incorrect idea, reinforced by countless film misrepresentations, that Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were always staid and dull British chaps of middle years (or older), with Holmes a spry, cranky, and impatient eccentric, and Watson a white-haired and portly Boobus Brittanicus, a la Nigel Bruce. Students of the true and Canonical Sherlock Holmes know this to be a falsehood. When we first meet them on January 1, 1881, Holmes is still 26 years old (although he will turn 27 in just a few days), and Watson, already a wounded war veteran, is only 28.
