{"product_id":"9781780927404","title":"The Best and Wisest Man: Being A Reprint of the Reminiscences of Mrs. Mary Watson, née Morstan","description":"1888: Dr. John H. Watson, Army Corps surgeon turned colleague of the celebrated consulting detective Sherlock Holmes, decides not to assist in future cases as he is engaged to Mary Morstan. 1926: Mary Forrester discovers her mother’s diary, covering the years 1889 to 1893 — her marriage to Watson. What occurred in those years? How was the quintessential male friendship of Holmes and Watson seen through a woman’s eyes? How stable was a marriage where Watson was liable to abandon Mary at Holmes’s summons? Who, ultimately, was Mary Morstan — a figure seldom referred to in Arthur Conan Doyle’s sixty Holmes stories? This blend of fact and fiction sheds light on a virtually unexplored dimension of the Great Detective’s exploits. It is a perspective Sherlock Holmes —who elevated “true, cold reason … above all things” - would probably not appreciate. But for all its warmth and irrationality, there is just as much truth in the heart.","brand":"Andrews UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152320315632,"sku":"9781780927404","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781780927404_p0.jpg?v=1763714676","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781780927404","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
