Happy 172nd Birthday, Sherlock Holmes!

2026/01/06

“your celebrated friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes” [NAVA]Today is January 6th — and that marks the date on which we traditionally celebrate Sherlock Holmes's birthday.We say "traditionally," because there is no definitive statement of his actual date of birth in the Canon, but beginning withChristopher Morley, the date of January 6th has become the de facto accepted date for Holmes' birthday. Why? Well, there are a couple of reasons.Of all of the quotes in the Canon, William Shakespeare was the most

Baker Street Elementary – Resolved

2026/01/04

“full of energy and resolution” [GLOR]January 1st always begins with hope for the New Year: a clean slate is offered up, and it is ours on which to write our intentions for the year. These often take the form of resolutions.It has been long posited that Sherlock Holmes and John H. Watson met on New Year's Day, 1881, as told in A Study in Scarlet. While there are no dates mentioned in the text, there are clues that lead us to believe this may be the case:Watson runs into an old friend Stamford at the

Episode 325: The Unexpurgated Sherlock Holmes

I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere ·

2025/12/30

“Holmes took it with admirable good-humour” [PRIO]For years, Holmes and Watson have served as a blueprint for an "odd couple" dynamic, usually by poking fun at the detective’s ego, and the doctor’s struggle to keep up. Humor can humanize these literary giants, making them feel less like statues and more like friends.Now Nicholas Sercombe’s The Unexpurgated Adventures of Sherlock Holmes series goes down this path, suggesting Watson’s reports were just too risque for the morals of Victorian England

The seventh in the series of stories that make upThe Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, "The Blue Carbuncle" is the sole Christmas story in the Sherlock Holmes canon.Watson sets the stage for us by opening the tale with this paragraph:"I had called upon my friend Sherlock Holmes upon the second morning after Christmas, with the intention of wishing him the compliments

Baker Street Elementary – Working Out Some Problems

2025/12/21

“Puerile as such an exercise may seem” [STUD]In "The Yellow Face," Watson tells us "Sherlock Holmes a man who seldom took exercise for exercise’s sake," yet we know he had some athletic pursuits. More on that in a moment.But first: what do we know about the exercise habits of others in the Canon?There were some clients or minor characters who regularly took exercise. Among them:Violet Smith was an ardent cyclist: "Yes, I bicycle a good deal, Mr. Holmes." [SOLI]Fitzroy McPherson was a swimmer:

“her wits turned at the singing” [HOUN]We know that Watson cared enough about Sherlock Holmes to call upon him "the second morning after Christmas, with the intention of wishing him the compliments of the season." [BLUE]While there is no mention of Christmas caroling in "The Blue Carbuncle," a close reading of A Study in Scarlet finds some surprising singing happening in a rather unusual location:"Leaning back in the cab, this amateur bloodhound carolled away like a lark while I meditated upon the

“The Red-headed League is Dissolved” [REDH]It appears that the officialSherlockescape room in London has shut down.I last visited in Julyin conjunction with an event put on by the Sherlock Holmes Society of London. However, in November, a Reddit posterreported that, when trying to book a slot to visit, there was no response to the phone number or email address.

“I gave him the best of educations.” [PRIO]In my professional life, I coach leaders and write a newsletter on leadership and character, ending every missive with the phrase “There's so much to learn.” As the philosophers will tell you, we don't know what we don't know, and those who are curious and life-long learners make the best leaders.And although Sherlock Holmes could easily forget more than any of his contemporaries from Scotland Yard might ever know, he kept educating himself.In "The

“an old friend and school companion” [TWIS]It is hard to believe that four decades have passed since we first saw a teenage Sherlock Holmes meet a bespectacled John Watson at Brompton Academy. Released on December 4, 1985, Young Sherlock Holmescelebrates its 40th anniversary today.Originally known as Sherlock Holmes: The Pyramid of Fear in some markets, it was clearly an attempt by the studio, Amblin Entertainment, to capture the zeitgeist of films like Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and

“Particularly bright and joyous” [THOR]Forget about the silence you might think is suggested by the word “pantomime.” British panto is a raucous, musical, holiday tradition that expects the audience to be as loud as possible, booing the villain and cheering the hero. It’s usually a comic, theatrical retelling of a fairy tale — like Cinderella or Aladdin — with slapstick for the kids, cheeky innuendo for the adults, and a cast that includes a campy "Dame" (a man in an over-the-top dress).Now Holmes,

“Holmes would talk about nothing but violins” [CARD]Does the quality of an instrument affect the ability of the player? Marketers of high-end instruments would certainly like us to believe so.In Sherlock Holmes's case, it is perhaps the difference between Watson tolerating his intermittent concerti and throwing the instrument through the window.When they first meet, the young Holmes tests Watson thusly:“Do you include violin-playing in your category of rows?”Fortunately, Watson passed with flying
