  • 2015 Jhws Treasure Hunt
    2015 JHWS TREASURE HUNT “Mr. Sherlock Holmes” Category: Holmes’s personality 1. This author, while writing his own stories about a fatherly detective, went so far as to assert that Sherlock Holmes was not a man, but a god. Who? (1 pt.) Answer: G.K. Chesterton, author of the Father Brown mysteries ---See The Sherlock Holmes Collection, The University of Minnesota, USH Volume I, Section VI: The Writings About the Writings, Chesterson, G.K., Sherlock Holmes the God, G.K.’s Weekly (February 21, 1935), at lib.umn.edu, and numerous others. ---Full quote: “Not once is there a glance at the human and hasty way in which the stories were written; not once even an admission that they were written. The real inference is that Sherlock Holmes really existed and that Conan Doyle never existed. If posterity only reads these latter books, it will certainly suppose them to be serious. It will imagine that Sherlock Holmes was a man. But he was not; he was only a god.” 2. Holmes did not, perhaps, have a knowledge of women across the continents, but, according to Watson, Holmes did hold a position across several of them. How many continents and what position? (2 pts.) Answer: Three, position of unofficial adviser and helper to everybody who is absolutely puzzled ---W., p. 191, IDEN: I smiled and shook my head. "I can quite understand you thinking so," I said. "Of course, in your position of unofficial adviser and helper to everybody who is absolutely puzzled, throughout three continents, you are brought in contact with all that is strange and bizarre.

  • Sherlock Holmes in Khartoum
    SHERLOCK HOLMES IN KHARTOUM by MARGARET NYDELL One of the most shocking events of the late nineteenth century was the tragic death of General Charles “Chinese” Gordon at Khartoum in January 1885. When the news of the siege and fall of this distant British outpost reached Eng- land, there poured forth a vast amount of impassioned prose, including some from Queen Victoria herself. (She sent a telegram en clair to her ministers stat- ing that the catastrophe might have been prevented and “many precious lives saved by earlier action.” Gladstone considered resigning as Prime Minister after having been condemned by the Queen in such a manner.)1 “Gordon of Khar- toum” was immediately canonized as a genuine Victorian hero.2 Khartoum fell and Gordon was killed on 26 January 1885, after a siege and blockade of over ten months. Because of inexcusable dithering and delay, the relief party led by Sir Charles Wilson arrived just 60 hours too late. Thus befell a horrific tragedy of enormous importance in the British imperialist experience. How could such a thing have been allowed to happen? It is useful to go back and look again at how it came about. ENTER SHERLOCK HOLMES What is generally unknown and unappreciated is the fact that Sherlock Holmes was actively involved in the entire Sudan issue, from beginning to end. Lord Kitchener, who was director of British intelligence during the siege in 1884–85, relied heavily on Holmes’s advice.3 He found him indispensable again in 1898, when (subjected to great pressure from public opinion) “Kitchener of Khartoum” marched another British army up the Nile, avenged Gordon’s mur- der, and salvaged the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan.

  • Sherlock Holmes
    SHERLOCK HOLMES THE CARD GAME For three or more players, 8 years of age and upwards INTRODUCTION In principle, the play of the cards puts players in the place of Holmes and Watson as they would set out to solve one of their celebrated cases one hundred years ago. The game starts at 221B Baker Street, with Holmes waking Watson from sleep – The game is afoot! Like them, players travel about by Hansom or by Train, visiting locations in the Country or in London, Scotland Yard, or back to Baker Street. Clues will be found; Suspects will be named, Telegrams received, Disguises used. Police Inspectors will interfere, Arrests be made, and Alibis provided. Thick Fog will confuse everyone! Finally, one player will be identified as the Villain, and captured – or – alternatively, successfully escape the clutches of his pursuers! HOW TO PLAY Take The Game is Afoot! card, and put it to one side, face down. Take the four Villain cards, shuffle, and place one of them with The Game is Afoot! card, again face down. Leave the other three Villain cards to one side for the moment. Shuffle the remainder of the pack and then count out enough cards face down to provide 6 cards for each player (including The Game is Afoot! and Villain cards which have been put to one side). Thus for 3 players, count out 16 cards, for 4 players count out 22 cards, etc. To these add The Game is Afoot! and Villain cards, re-shuffle thoroughly and deal six cards to each player. Add the remaining three Villain cards to the rest of the pack, re-shuffle, and place face down to form a draw pile.

  • Holmes: Sherlock & Mycroft Rulebook
    A game by Diego Ibáñez Art by Pedro Soto 2 players · 30 minutes · 10 years and over At dawn on the 24th of February, 1895, the sound of thunder woke up London. A big column of smoke foreshadowed the catastrophe: a bomb had exploded in the Houses of Parliament. The security forces reacted immediately and arrested Michael Chapman, a young worker linked to anarchist groups, near the place of the attack. Mycroft Holmes is in charge of investigating the explosion for the Crown prosecution. Mycroft needs to determine if the attack is the action of a lone wolf or part of a bigger plot. It appears to be another easy case from his comfortable easy chair at the Diogenes Club, when he discovers that the detective hired by Michael’s parents to prove the young man’s innocence is no less than his brother Sherlock Holmes. Michael’s family are Surrey farmers and believe that Michael is innocent. The duel between the two most brilliant minds in London begins. The Holmes have to prove if Michael is innocent or guilty. Is Chapman an unfortunate young man that fell in the wrong company or a member of an anarchist cell? Components Game Board Clue Deck (52 cards) (with turn indicator) False Pass (×3) Explosive (×4) Cigarette (×5) Bullet (×6) Button (×7) Action Markers (3 for Sherlock and 3 for Mycroft) Character Deck (12 cards) Footprint (×8) Fingerprint (×9) Wildcard (×5) Map Fragment (×5) Investigation Markers (24 glasses) 3 Optional Cards(see Page 7) Rules booklet 1 Preparation of the Game 1 The game board is placed on one side between the players.

  • 5 Must-Read Mysteries for Summer 2019
    Jul 9, 2019, 11:19pm 5 Must-Read Mysteries For Summer 2019 Micah Solomon Contributor Entrepreneurs Customer service consultant, keynote speaker. [email protected] There’s nothing like a well-plotted mystery to read on a summer’s day–or, if you dare, a summer’s night. Here are five first-rate mysteries, fresh off the presses, that I’m eager to recommend. Finding Mrs. Ford, by Deborah Goodrich Royce (Book Cover Image) Finding Mrs. Ford, by Deborah Goodrich Royce If you’ve had the chance to summer by the seaside in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, a popular locale for those in the money and in the know, you’d peg the town as an unlikely place for a mystery to unfold. (Watch Hill is also home to an iconic Forbes Five Star Victorian hotel, Ocean House, of which author Royce is co-owner.) This is part of the magic when Royce draws you into her plot via her dazzling treatment of this setting, and other equally well-drawn locales, including disco-era suburban Detroit, which figures heavily in the plot as well. The novel, which is Royce’s first, features equally three-dimensional characters and plot twists that are engaging and original as well. Once you’ve enjoyed Finding Mrs. Ford, you’ll find yourself expecting more great things upcoming from this author, as am I.

  • Sherlockiana, Travel Writing and the Co-Production of the Sherlock Holmes Stories
    Mobile Holmes: Sherlockiana, travel writing and the co-production of the Sherlock Holmes stories David McLaughlin Department of Geography University of Cambridge This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Emmanuel College May 2017 Mobile Holmes: Sherlockiana, Travel Writing and the Co-Production of the Sherlock Holmes Stories David McLaughlin Abstract This thesis is a study of the ways in which readers actively and collaboratively co-produce fiction. It focuses on American Sherlockians, a group of devotees of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories. At its centre is an analysis of geographical and travel writings these readers produced about Holmes’s life and world, in the later years of the twentieth century. I argue that Sherlockian writings indicate a tendency to practise what I term ‘expansionary literary geography’; that is, a species of encounter with fiction in which readers harness literature’s creative agency in order to consciously add to or expand the literary spaces of the text. My thesis is a work of literary geography. I am indebted to recent work that theorises reading as a dynamic practice which occurs in time and space. My work develops this theoretical lens by considering the fictional event in the light of encounters which are collaborative, collective and ongoing. I present my findings across four substantive chapters, each of which elucidates a different aspect of Sherlockians’ expansionary literary geography: first, mapping, where Sherlockians who set out to definitively map the world as Doyle wrote it keep re-drawing its boundaries outside of his texts; secondly, creative writing, by which readers make Holmes move while ensuring he never wanders too far from the canon; thirdly, debate, a popular pastime among American Sherlockians and a means for readers to build Holmes’s world out of their own memories and experiences; and fourthly, literary tourism, used by three exemplary readers as a means of walking Holmes into the world.
