The Solar Pons Omnibus

1

The Solar Pons Omnibus is a collection of detective fiction stories by author August Derleth. It was released in 1982 by Arkham House in an edition of 3,031 copies. The collection was published in two volumes with a slipcase. The set collects all 71 of the Solar Pons stories by Derleth, which are pastiches of the Sherlock Holmes tales of Arthur Conan Doyle. The collection was edited by Basil Copper and provided with a new foreword by Robert Bloch. The stories are arranged by their internal chronology, rather than by the date of their release. The stories had previously appeared under Arkham House's Mycroft & Moran imprint. As some fans found Copper's edits objectionable, The Original Text Solar Pons Omnibus Edition was issued in 2000, reverting the stories to the previous versions. The later omnibus also discarded Copper's chronological arrangement in favor of the order in which the stories had appeared in the original Derleth volumes.
