Breathing new life into a Gillette biography
Readers interested in William Gillette will no longer need to scour eBay for out-of-print editions of his definitive biography, Doris Cook’s “Sherlock Holmes and Much More.” The Friends of Gillette Castle have formed a partnership with Bellanger Books and the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History (formerly the Connecticut Historical Society) to bring this book to Gillette Castle.
