Watching The World
￥44.05
The day came when I could stand it no longer! Whenever I arrived anywhere (usually with a burst of "e;You're not gonna believe this . . . ."e;) the people around me knew that they would be in for yet another tale of woe about something that had just happened to me during my journey. Some would say, "e;I don't know why you don't write this all down."e; My answer was always that no one would believe me, but, then again, perhaps someone out there just might. So here it is, written down. This book has been written by me for all of you. From footie fans to comical commuters, from dodgy dog-walkers to hapless (or should that be 'helpless'?) hotel guests, from what not to do at pelican crossings to tucking into a takeaway on a Friday night - it's all here. Now, I don't know if you are going to believe what you are about to read or not, but I can assure you that some, most or indeed all the events related in this book have happened (or will happen) to you at some point; and I wish you the very best of luck in trying not to laugh when they do!Jeff Jenkins

Over the past few years, Sherlock Holmes has exploded in popularity. The character has made a huge impact on the 21st century, with multiple interpretations gaining a growing audience of new Sherlockians.

Watson is Not an Idiot is an opinionated exploration of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original canon, written to illustrate interesting features and historical elements of the stories from the perspective of a lifelong fan of the material. It's not academic, but a companion - the passionate, excited, and sometimes ranty friend who sits alongside you and points out interesting bits while you read. Watson is Not an Idiot is perfect for the first-time reader of the stories and fans curious about starting a more critical reading of the material.
