[Paperback] by Michael Cox. The Baker Street File: A Guide to the Appearance and Habits of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson Specially Prepared for the Granada Television Series the Adventures of sherlock Holmes : The Baker Street File: A Guide to the Appearance and Habits of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson Specially Prepared for the Granada Television Series the Adventures of sherlock (Paperback) Sir Arthur Conan Doyle provided a vast amount of information about the character subtleties of Holmes &amp; Watson spread out over 56 stories and four novels. What Michael Cox has done with "The Baker Street File," was to take seemingly trite details about these characters from each of Doyles' stories and listed them in sections. Some examples of these chapter lists include information on Holmes &amp; Watsons' appearance, mannerisms, skills, comments on each other, personal philosophies, opinions on women, and even a detailed description of how Holmes' room should appear (especially if he's in one of his black moods). If you've had the priviledge to see any of the Granada television series with Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes and Edward Hardwicke as Watson, then you'll appreciate, as I do, their obsessive attention to detail and who frequently used this manual for their characterizations. I'm especially interested in how actors prepare for their roles so I'm highly recommending this text for those who study acting and for anyone else who sees the value of being this particular when bringing an authors' work to the screen.

The Case Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Speckled Band

It is not cold which makes me shiver,' said the woman in a low voice, changing her seat as requestd. What then?' It is fear, Mr Holmes. It is terror.' With those three short sentences, Conan Doyle succeeds in sending tingles down the spines of his readers, raising the hairs on the backs of their necks, and setting the scene for what is perhaps the most popular of all the Sherlock Holmes short stories. Conan Doyle also creates mysteries within the mystery, which have fuelled Sherlockian debate for decades: do snakes drink milk? could a snake be trained to climb a bell-rope? In addition to examining previous scholarship relating to the case, this latest addition to The Case Files of Sherlock Holmes' examines Conan Doyle's possible sources and his stage dramatisation, and offers modern interpretations of the story's features. Join us on this latest journey to Stoke Moran, home of the fearsome Dr Grimesby Roylott. Once more, the game is afoot!

History & Criticism

Whenever a Sherlock Holmes Society is formed, someone, sooner or later, will suggest that the Society should have a newsletter or a journal. The Bootmakers of Toronto were no exception to this rule, and the first issue of the society's magazine Canadian Holmes' appeared in the summer of 1973. From small beginnings, and an irregular publishing schedule, Canadian Holmes' is now one of the foremost Sherlockian society publications available. Over the years, the content of Canadian Holmes' has been varied, scholarly, entertaining, andabove allinteresting; from time to time it has also managed to be controversial; at the cutting edge of criticism of the Sherlockian world, so to speak. Canadian Holmes' has also always managed to maintain a national identity. While its editors have published material from around the world, the magazine remains intrinsically Canadianand is all the better for that. Thus, each issue of the magazine offers a detailed Bootmaker's Diary', a record of almost everything that happens in the day to day life of a Sherlockian society; and articles viewing Holmes and Conan Doyle from a Canadian perspective are a regular feature. In his Introduction to this volume, Christopher Redmond, who edited Canadian Holmes' from 1979 to 1991, traces the development of the magazine and gives an insight into some of the problems of editing a regular Sherlockian publication. The magazine's present editor, Trevor Raymond, has added an Afterword, which provides an update on current editorial direction and thinking. This volume is issued in celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of The Bootmakers of Toronto in 1997.
