The butler who shared years of employment with the Holmes family draws a clear portrait of Sherlock as a child, his precocious and unsettling older brother Mycroft, and the whole household. Through its comprehensive view of Sherlock and the events that affected him, we are able to interpret Holmes’ personality traits in a more sympathetic and lucid manner.
