David Cameron Dunn, Ph. D.

Who’s Who in Baker Street was written to appeal to the thousands of Sherlock Holmes fans who would enjoy a different approach to their thirst for facts about the Master. It should appeal to the many Holmes Fan Clubs and organizations such as the Baker Street Irregulars. Following the “Who’s Who” section of the book, the sixty synopses should provide handy abbreviated reading of all the tales of the canon.

About the Author:

David Cameron Dunn, Ph. D. was born in 1934 in Loma Linda, California, and graduated from Herbert Hoover High School in San Diego in 1951. His abiding interest in “the world’s only consulting detective” first began in 1948 when he purchased the 1,323-page The Complete Sherlock Holmes. This interest has persisted ever since, and the well-worn, re-bound volume has never left the author’s side. Dunn completed a four-year active tour of duty in the United States Air Force (1952–1956) and was honorably discharged with the rank of staff sergeant. In 1958, taking advantage of the Korean War GI Bill, Dunn began his higher education at Cornell University’s School of Hotel Administration in Ithaca, New York. There, he received his BS in 1962, his MS in 1965, and his PhD in 1970. He remained on the Hotel School’s financial management faculty for more than thirty years, retiring in 1994 as professor emeritus. The author and his beloved wife, Elaine Joyce, celebrated their sixty-sixth wedding anniversary in 2019; in early 2020, she left for a better place at the age of eighty-three. Among the author’s other works are Deutsch From Scratch: an Elementary Approach to Learning German and The N*O*V*O Nostalgia Movie Quiz and Information Book, both books published by Dorrance.
