The Twentieth-Anniversary Edition of the First Novel of the Acclaimed Mary Russell Series by Edgar Award-Winning Author Laurie R. King.

An Agatha Award Best Novel Nominee - Named One of the Century's Best 100 Mysteries by the Independent Mystery Booksellers Association

In 1915, Sherlock Holmes is retired and quietly engaged in the study of honeybees in Sussex when a young woman literally stumbles onto him on the Sussex Downs. Fifteen years old, gawky, egotistical, and recently orphaned, the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes. Under his reluctant tutelage, this very modern, twentieth-century woman proves a deft prot g e and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective. They are soon called to Wales to help Scotland Yard find the kidnapped daughter of an American senator, a case of international significance with clues that dip deep into Holmes's past. Full of brilliant deduction, disguises, and danger, The Beekeeper's Apprentice, the first book of the Mary Russell-Sherlock Holmes mysteries, is "remarkably beguiling" (The Boston Globe).

Adorable book, sweet illustrations, a great introduction to service dogs
Format: Hardcover
Wonderful tale (no pun intended) about service dogs and in particular highlighting Canine Companions. Canine Companions for Independence is an incredible non profit that has been providing service dogs for many years. If you are looking for a sweet book for anyone this is it. We plan on giving it to many people this holiday season. And if you are looking for a good non profit to donate to this is one to consider. Visit their website and check them out!

Informative and fun book
Format: Hardcover
The story itself is very informative and playful in its approach to helping the reader understand the process of selecting and training service dogs. The star that was knocked off is not reflective of the product, but the shipping process or the packaging department which delivered another book with a ripped dust jacket. In reality the intended recipient will take that off anyway, so I am not returning it. It seems wasteful. However, if this gift was intended for anyone other than a family member, I would have. Amazon needs to train its packaging departments are better. But I suppose as long as we all keep buying, they will not.
