Synopsis

About The Author

Eve Titus (1908-2002) was the author of many children’s books, including those about the French cheese-tasting mouse Anatole. Of Basil of Baker Street, Adrian M. Conan Doyle wrote to the author, “It is simply a wonderful creation, and I can assure you that my father would have revelled in every page.” The book was also made into a Disney movie, The Great Mouse Detective, in 1986. Numerous Sherlockian collectors prize the Basil mysteries, which include Basil of Baker Street, Basil and the Cave of Cats (originally published as Basil and the Pygmy Cats), Basil in Mexico, Basil in the Wild West, and Basil and the Lost Colony.
