Query: Great tale of an enigmatic figure

Great tale explaining many of Sherlock Holmes character traits. Read the book in two days for the story of Mycroft and Sherlock interactions with their family, tutors, household staff, and each other was too intriguing to put down.I did not feel the victorian language was verbose or excessive for it is a period piece. The children were somewhat too precocious though, especially Mycroft but; this did not take away my enjoyment of the book.Some dogs do live long enough to be a companion from childhood to early adulthood for we had one in our household.
