The book came about as a result of the author's determination to to show that Holmes had come to his country's aid during WWI. The preface by Watson is noteworthy on account of the fact that it appears to contain a mistake in that it states that Holmes' time is divided between 'philosophy and agriculture' instead of 'philosophy and apiculture.'
