Ellery Queen 
Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes [EPUB ebook] 

First published in 1944, this is an anthology of parodies and pastiches, and comprises of a collection of more than 30 stories-written by detective story writers, famous literary figures, humorists and others-of burlesques and pastiches of the famous detective that represent the highlights of character, style, idiosyncrasies, deduction associated with Sherlock Holmes.Barrie, O’Henry, Clendening, Agatha Christie, Anthony Berkeley are but a few of the others, out of print or collectors’ items, here reprinted for the first time."Respectful, waggish, farcical, all are appreciative of Holmes’ domination of the mystery scene. […] a pleasant companion to Holmesiana."-Kirkus Review
