The Adventures of the Eleven Cuff-Buttons

by James Francis Thierry

The Adventure of the Eleven Cuff-Buttons by James Francis Thierry is the first novel-length Sherlock Holmes parody with "Holmes" as the central character. "Doc" Watson recounts Hemlock Holmes's first British adventure after they return from a three-year stay in New York City; this explains why he and Holmes sound like caricature-versions of Americans abroad.
