Episode 286: The Autistic Sleuth

2024/04/30

“That was the curious incident” [SILV]From time to time, we see analysis and debate about whether Sherlock Holmes was autistic, had Asperger Syndrome, or is in some other way on the spectrum.As neurodiversity becomes more understood and accepted in the 21st century, it seems natural to explore this not only with Holmes, but with other characters in the genre as well.In The Autistic Sleuth, Christopher Chan and Patricia Meyer Chan, Ph.D., test the question: Is the entertainment industry celebrating

Baker Street Elementary – What Is It Good For?

2024/04/28

“There’s an east wind coming, Watson” [LAST]In "A Case of Identity," Sherlock Holmes demonstrated to Dr. Watson that “life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent.”Throughout human history, our species seems to have been at war with itself constantly. Indeed, there is no recorded year in which a war has not taken place.As we look across the Sherlock Holmes stories chronologically, beginning with "The Gloria Scott," dated by various chronologists between 1872 and 1876,

“I am one of the hounds” [STUD]The golden age of Hollywood brought us stars like William Powell and Myrna Loy, and of course Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce.In Elizabeth Crowens' new novel Hounds of the Hollywood Baskervilles, we find them (and Dashiell Hammett) intervowen in a story that begins with the disappearance of Asta from The Thin Man movies, and Rathbone's own lost pup.

Baker Street Elementary – Misleading Man

I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere ·

2024/04/14

“I would have made a highly efficient criminal” [CHAS]Sherlock Holmes always sought the truth. As he reminded Watson,“How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?” [SIGN]He let data lead him where he needed to go, even if the conclusion was less than ideal. But he was careful about collecting that data:“Circumstantial evidence is a very tricky thing,” answered Holmes thoughtfully. “It may seem to point very

The Story Behind the Greatest Sherlockian Hoax of All...

2024/04/01

“wondering whether the whole thing was an elaborate hoax” [STOC]Today marks 17 years since one of the greatest Sherlockian hoaxes since... well, we were going to say since the Cottingley Fairies, but that wasn't strictly Sherlockian, was it?Back in 2007, the entertainment world was in a bit of a Sherlock Holmes drought. We were 13 years past "The Cardboard Box," the final episode in the Granada Sherlock Holmes series, made popular in part by Jeremy Brett in the starring role. And it was three years

“five hundred cases of capital importance” [HOUN]Thanks to you, dear reader, the Baker Street Elementary comic strip is watched and read all around the world. And given this particular issue number, perhaps it's worth stopping to celebrate.Joe Fay, Rusty Mason, and Steve Mason created the Baker Street Elementary comic strip in the image of the classic Peanuts comics over late-night pizza during a BSI weekend. They thought they'd have enough ideas for about six months' worth of strips. With today's

The Children of Sherlock Holmes

2024/03/29

“took his children over to America”[COPP]Still from The Irregulars (credit: IMDb)The news of Sherlock & Daughter, a TV show picked up by the CW in which Holmes (David Thewlis) meets Amelia (Blu Hunt), an American who thinks he may be her father, got me thinking about other Sherlockian offspring.While there is no indication that Sherlock Holmes had offspring (or even a true romantic interest) in the Canon, that hasn't stopped scores of authors, screenwriters, and other creators from imaginatively

2024/03/17

“Wiggins has just been up to report” [SIGN]aka "Kean"Sherlock Holmes didn't have an easy time with the Baker Street Irregulars. This group of rag-tag street urchins made a memorable first appearance in A Study in Scarlet:“What on earth is this?” I cried, for at this moment there came the pattering of many steps in the hall and on the stairs, accompanied by audible expressions of disgust upon the part of our landlady.“It’s the Baker Street division of the detective police force,” said my companion,

“It must tend to some end, or else our universe is ruled by chance” [CARD]Multiverse of Mystery, now crowdfunding, is a collection of new stories about Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson across the multiverse. The authors are all members ofthe International Association of Media Tie-In Writers, so they know how adaptations work.

“The world is big enough for us. No ghosts need apply.”[SUSS] Sherlock Bones and the Horror of the Haunted Castle is the fourth in a series of Puzzle Quest paperback books from author Tom Collins and illustrator John Bigwood. This “Sherlock Bones” is not to be confused with the character in one of The Earliest Sherlock Holmes-Star Trek Crossovers.

Baker Street Elementary – Popularity Contest

2024/03/03

“a man who is popular with all who know him” [TWIS]Thanks to the efforts of Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes quickly rose from obscurity to a household name in the late Victorian era.As Watson told Holmes in A Study in Scarlet:“Your merits should be publicly recognized. You should publish an account of the case. If you won’t, I will for you.”And so he did. And since the final story was published in 1927, the Sherlock Holmes canon has never been out of print. Some even say it's the second

Remembering John F. Baesch, BSI

“no man could be fonder of a friend” [VALL]John F. Baesch, BSI (“State and Merton County Railroad") died on November 14, 2023 at the age of 78.This entry is going to be necessarily long, because John Baesch was a man of varied interests and many friends. We have a number of contributions from people in various areas of John’s Sherlockian orbit, but keep in mind that these entries are only from the Sherlockian facet of his life; he enjoyed many others as well.And most of all, because he was one of my

Baker Street Elementary – A Sticky Wicket

2024/02/18

“Was the wicket-gate closed?” [HOUN]A few seasons ago on the Trifles podcast, we produced a 12-part series on games and sport in the Sherlock Holmes stories. We've added to it since, but one sport did not enter that discussion: cricket.Since cricket barely warranted a mention in the Canon, you might think such an oversight is understandable. The reality is we've created many more bricks with little straw on other related topics (golf, for example).There are two explicit instances of cricket being

2024/02/14

“I have never loved” [DEVI]It might seem strange that we would celebrate a holiday about romance with a detective whom Watson called“a reasoning machine.”But let's not forget that there was also an occasion when Watson wrote “I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain,” (even if it was the only time).The fact is, love plays a part in much of the Sherlock Holmes canon, from the deep and true love of Jefferson Hope and Lucy Ferrier in A Study in Scarlet that was made even more

“It beats anything I have seen, and I am no chicken.” [STUD]Old hawker woman byBartolomé Esteban Murillo, c. 1645 (Alte Pinakothek, CC BY-SA 4.0)Occasionally here in the I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere test kitchens, we like to prepare“something a little nutritious,” as Holmes craved at the conclusion of "The Dying Detective."In our case, we turn to the must-have for all Sherlockian cooks: Dining with Sherlock Holmes: A Baker Street cookbook by Julia Carlson Rosenblatt, BSI ("Mrs. Turner") and

Baker Street Elementary – Compound Interest

I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere ·

2024/02/04

“I suppose I shall have to compound a felony as usual” [3GAB]One of the great threads running through the Sherlock Holmes stories is a strong sense of justice. Sherlock Holmes himself had a strong sense of right and wrong.And in many cases, that meant allowing a perpetrator to go free after solving the case. Was this code of honor meant to speak to the potential character of such individuals in the future, in order to allow them to change their ways? Or perhaps he thought their deeds were

2024/01/21

“if you will be good enough to understudy me” [RETI]When Sherlock Holmes and John H. Watson first meet, thanks to the introduction via Stamford, they seem an odd pair — like two circles of a Venn diagram that just barely overlap. And yet this combination is exactly what was necessary to bring the many adventures of Sherlock Holmes to the world.Had they been more alike, we wouldn't have experienced the wonder and awe with which Watson treated some of their interactions. Nor would we have instances of
