Rowman and Littlefield have picked up World Rights for THE WORLD OF SHERLOCK HOLMES. A frequent guest lecturer on the subject of Conan-Doyle and Sherlock Holmes, Black’s book will throw light on Victorian society in a changing England and London as a world city, and Holmes as an Anglo-American figure with an enduring legacy on both sides of the Atlantic.
His recent awards include the Winner of the 2020 Library Journal Best Reference Pick of the Year for his History of the Second World War in Maps (British Library Publishing, 2020).
