    What an unabashed delight! All of the hallmarks of a classic Sherlock Holmes tale are in place, tongue firmly in cheek, and the result is a clever, funny, hugely entertaining piece that, like all of the best TYA, works on several levels at once and will amuse the children in the audience as well as the adults with its intrigue, jokes, and infectious high-spirits. Delicious fun.
