All this talk about Sherlock pastiches has given my an idea.
I've written several Sherlockian Pastiches (see my Sherlock Holmes
and The Grand Horizontals available through Amazon. com) and
translated
some French ones: Arsene Lupin versus SH.

Now it's my understanding that Holmes spent some time in the East,
and learned some martial arts as well. There's a pastiche Sherlock
Holmes in Tibet which I own but have never read.

Assuming Holmes was in the Tibet, he must have gotten there via
India or China. On the way, he must have met some interesting locals
in China and India. He probably came via India and left via China.
He was there without Watson, so he probably had some Indian or
Chinese sidekick during these adventures who undoubtedly kept
records of them
but they have been lost up until now, or written in some non-English
language. So what sort of person might this have been ? Any ideas ?
