221B: Studies in Sherlock Holmes | Vincent Starrett

3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read

One of the most famous of all works of Holmesian scholarship, this is a volume eagerly sought by readers and fans. Among the delights to be found in its pages are essays on “The Care and Feeding of Sherlock Holmes,” “Dr. Watson’s Secret,” and “Was Sherlock Holmes an American?” Can anyone resist the temptation to read the contribution entitled “On the Emotional Geology of Baker Street”? Contributors include such notables as Christopher Morley, famed illustrator Frederic Dorr Steele, and A. Conan Doyle himself. “Useful, entertaining, imaginative, it belongs on every reader-insomniac’s bedside shelf.”—The Catalogue of Crime

Some cozy classic essays on Sherlock Holmes and the Great Game, first pubbed in 1940. Some of my faves: The Field Bazaar (the classic ACD), The Adventure of the Unique Hamlet (the classic Starrett), Sherlock Holmes in Pictures (Frederic Dorr Steele), and the absolutely exhaustive Appointment in Baker Street (Edgar W Smith).

ā€Let us talk rather of those things that are permanent and secure, of high matters about which there can be no gibbering division of opinion. Let us talk of the realities that do not change, of that higher realism which is the only true romance. Let us talk again of Sherlock Holmes.ā€¯ #TuesdayReads
