Basil of Baker Street

Basil of Baker Street is a series of children's novels written by Eve Titus and illustrated by Paul Galdone.

The stories focus on the titular Basil of Baker Street and his personal biographer Doctor David Q. Dawson.

Both live in Holmestead, a mouse community built in the cellar of 221B Baker Street, where Sherlock Holmes is a tenant upstairs.

The series was revived three decades later when a new work was published by Aladdin Paperbacks in October 2018, written by Cathy Hapka and illustrated by David Mottram.

The first five books were written by Eve Titus, illustrated by Paul Galdone, and published by McGraw-Hill.
