Then there was a pause until December and then another dozen stories appeared through the end of 1893.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When the stories were collected in book form, the first dozen became <i>The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes</i> in October 1892. The second set of stories was published in England in December 1893 and in the United States in September 1894 as <i><a href="https://www.arthur-conan-doyle.com/index.php/The_Memoirs_of_Sherlock_Holmes" target="_blank">The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes</a></i>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But there was a distinct difference between these two first editions: the British version omitted the story "The Cardboard Box." Subsequent American editions also omitted it. The story later appeared in the collection called <i>His Last Bow</i> in 1917.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It's not entirely clear why it was omitted, although it was seemingly done at the request of Arthur Conan Doyle. According to Christopher Roden, BSI ("Sir Henry Baskerville") in the introduction to <i>The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes</i> in <i>The Oxford Sherlock Holmes</i> edition:</div><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">"ACD himself appears to have offered differing excuses: that it was out of place in a collection designed for boys; that it was more sensational than he cared for; and that it was a weak story. Whether one can conisder a collection of stories which had appeared in the <i>Strand </i>as being intended for boys' consumption is open to debate...'The Carboard Box' is clearly not a weak story, and Conan Doyle's own regard for its opening paragraphs, which he transposed into 'The Resident Patient,' seems to refute his statement. One is led to the conclusion, therefore, that something of which we are unaware, or can only speculate upon, happened in Conan Doyle's life between the time the story appeared in the <i>Strand</i> and the time the collection was published in book form."</div></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Adultery and murder, both at the center of "The Cardboard Box," are motives that other Sherlock Holmes stories already contained. But there's an additional element here: alcoholism.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">There is a history of alcohol abuse in Conan Doyle's own family: his father Charles Altamont Doyle was a chronic alcoholic. Perhaps the connection between alcohol and violence in the story was a bit too much for the Doyle family.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

While he helped law enforcement, he wasn't always on the right side of the law (allowing criminals to escape, breaking and entering).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The legal profession was well-represented in the Canon; a handful of examples demonstrate how lawyers and the legal profession played a conspicuous role in the stories:</div><h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Making a will</h4><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Can you name an adventure in which a hastily scribbled will misled Inspector Lestrade? "The Norwood Builder" featured Jonas Oldacre, who made solicitor John Hector McFarlane his sole beneficiary.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Legal contract</h4><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In which story do we find an owner of a house restricted from removing any items in the house upon its sale? Mrs. Maberley unknowingly had an exposé in her possession that revealed the perfidy of Isadora Klein in "The Three Gables."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Trial by jury</h4><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In which story did Holmes, acting as judge and Watson, acting as jury, come to the verdict of "not guilty"? When Captain Croker told his story about the death of Sir Eustace Brackenstall in "The Abbey Grange," Holmes took the law into his own hand.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Litigation</h4><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Can you name a cantankerous old litigant, described comically by Watson as "an elderly red-faced choleric crank whose passion is the British law, and who is said to have no less than seven lawsuits upon his hands at present?" That would be Mr. Frankland in <i>The Hound of the Baskervilles</i>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This is the recurring theme that Dworken first explored in <i>Sherlock Holmes and the Dinnertime Mystery</i> and examines from another angle in <i>Sherlock Holmes and a Father's Time</i>.</p><p>Arye Dworken joins us to discuss his enduring love of Sherlock Holmes and how he expresses it in these delightful children's books, examining issues that haunt all parents, from work-life balance to the day-in and day-out routine of meal preparation. </p><p>In this discussion about children's literature, we talk about authors we love and methods they've used, together with Dworken's inspiration, his choice of illustrator, and where the series goes next.</p><p>The <b>Canonical Couplet</b> should be an easy one.

Smith called this short-tempered scion). Both wanted to see Sir Arthur recognized for the genius of his creation. (No doubt they also wanted to see some of that sweet royalty money for the estate, but that's a story for another time.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">But doesn't our assignment of Watson as the author acknowledge the true genius of Conan Doyle? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">His ability as a storyteller was so skilled that in some cases, contemporary readers couldn't discern fact from fiction.

You're told at the start that Moriarty may have sent you a case as a trap, but if you turn down too many, or you get too many deductions wrong, you might go out of business as a consulting detective. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzn.to/41IP2Tr" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2285" data-original-width="1600" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk2e7Wo1WAWj92CJHMNIRced1b5Wnw5s9Wkhqw7DpDaQ1hD9aRR9PAveSdAz1WCuoF1aIZOiedozMTucOJ9-0PACc7NiOoCfz9c719e8Slmp5z170rt_7UV5U2ZogwTbqftuTOO50xwQxUDdBa2uZ0v9MvMmfd4ucTRvWfz-p4ieUaTz3vgDod-nj0hA/w140-h200/Can%20You%20Survive.jpg" width="140" /></a></div>Of course, if you've read the stories (and it's a rare Sherlock Holmes fan who isn't familiar with those two), you have a great advantage here. Even so, it's fun to see how choices — and alternate endings — have been inserted into these familiar tales. You might solve the case, or you may fail, or you or your client might even die! <p></p><p>The publisher recommends this book (and others in the series, including ones for <i><a href="https://amzn.to/3oyK4d9" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dracula</a>, <a href="https://amzn.to/41uuxtd" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Wizard of Oz</a></i>, and <i><a href="https://amzn.to/41u7LSj" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Call of the Wild</a></i>) for ages 9-13, and that seems about right.
