A handwritten draft of a Sherlock Holmes mystery from 1893 is to be sold at a fine literature auction in New York – with estimates suggesting it could go for up to £300,000.
The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter is one of the 56 short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle about the detective Sherlock Holmes. The story is best known for the first appearance of Holmes’s older brother, Mycroft.
Several other Sherlock Holmes manuscripts will also be on sale at Bonhams auction house in New York on 11 April.
