When a tightrope is cut and four tightrope walkers plunge to their deaths. it looks like a job for Sherlock Holmes. But Mr. Holmes has to do a job for the Prince of Wales, so he gets the Baker Street Irregulars to help out. As fans of the original Sherlock Holmes stories know, the Baker Street Irregulars are street urchins and orphans who act as Holmes' eyes and ears on the street.

This is a pleasant enough book, and a good way to introduce Sherlock Holmes to readers who are not quite ready for the original stories.
