About This Book
R. Holmes & Co. by John Kendrick Bangs is a collection of 10 stories about the son of Sherlock Holmes and grandson of Raffles. Raffles Holmes is introduced in these stories as the son of the great Sherlock Holmes. He is also revealed to be the grandson of A.J. Raffles, a gentleman thief pursued by Sherlock Holmes many years earlier. This apparently contradictory family background sets the stage for his colourful and amusing adventures.
