The Life and Times of Sherlock Holmes: Essays on Victorian England

Step back to London, 1895.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories are full of references to everyday activities and events from Victorian times that make the twenty-first century reader run to the reference shelf. Few, for example, are intimately acquainted with the responsibilities of a country squire, the importance of gentlemen's clubs, or the intricacies of the Victorian monetary system.
These twenty-four short essays explore various aspects of life mentioned in the original tales of Sherlock Holmes, providing modern-day insight into the nineteenth century world. Originally shared through various Sherlockian newsletters around the world, they are gathered here for the first time.

“When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”

IN PROGRESS:

A Botanical Blunder

Who taught the most famous consulting detective his craft?

By the time he and Dr. John Watson meet in their late twenties, Sherlock Holmes had already developed his skills of deduction. The source of his methods lies deep in his past, nurtured by one of the greatest minds of the mid-nineteenth century.
When his father calls him home during his first year at Eton, Sherlock Holmes is grateful—whatever the reason—for his return to Underbyrne, the family estate. Even his mother’s arrest for the murder of the village midwife can’t completely diminish his relief. After all, she is innocent, isn’t she?

Can the Holmes family successfully solve the crime when the village constable considers it solved and the victim’s husband won’t rest until a murderer is hung?
