(5) | None | Think of Sherlock Holmes and you think of mysteries, John Watson...and bees. While Arthur Conan Doyle sent the great detective to tend hives in retirement, here bees are front and centre in stories of love and romance, war and hope, of honey on the tongue and a sting in the tail. In tales of rare nectars, secret diaries, and the private language of lovers, bees may be the buzzing heart of the story...or as ephemeral as a murmur. What you'll find in every tale are John Watson and Sherlock Holmes helping one another, wanting one another, loving one another. To encourage a world where such love is seen for the precious thing it is, profits from "A Murmuring of Bees" will be donated to the It Gets Better Project.… (more) |

This book is composed of 24 stories and a poem, and I have loved every single one of these entries. I had already read stories from a few of the authors and they had never disappointed me: they didn't this time either. From the shortest to the longest story they all tap into the heart and soul of what makes Sherlock Holmes and John Watson important to me: their relationship, their investigations and adventure and flavour it all with the bee theme that acts as a fil rouge. Every author has a unique style, and loads of talent, so the small bios at the end of the book are incredibly precious to help people like me find more of their wiritings, or simply get in touch with them to thank them, not just for their contribution but also because every penny they get from the book goes to the It Gets Better Project.
For this alone, the book would have been worth it, good thing it is also full of great stories.
