Great British icons bound for Tokyo

Two great literary icons - Shakespeare and Sherlock Holmes - will come together in Tokyo this St George's Day, as part of a major showcase of British culture and education. Organised by the British Library, De Montfort University and the British Council, the three-day event (23-25 April 2012) will feature two major treasures from the British Library's collections - Shakespeare's First Folio and the original manuscript of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes mystery 'The Adventure of the Missing Three-Quarter'
