The Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes is an anthology of thirty-three Sherlock Holmes pastiches and parodies,[1] first published in 1944.[2]
The first collection of Holmes pastiches,[3] it consists of stories written by many prominent authors including Agatha Christie,[3] Mark Twain,[3] O. Henry,[4] Anthony Boucher, James M. Barrie,[3] and Anthony Berkeley Cox. It was edited by the American mystery writers Frederic Dannay and Manfred B. Lee under their joint pseudonym Ellery Queen.[4][5][6] The book angered the heirs of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (the creator of Sherlock Holmes)[1][4] and it was pulled from publication after the original run.[7][8]
