“carry about a portable Newgate Calendar” [3GAR]
The Sherlock Holmes stories may be fixed at a certain point in time, but they are timeless classics that will forever showcase the talents of the world's first consulting detective and the friendship between him and his faithful friend and biographer, Dr. John Watson.
As much as we'd like to lose ourselves in the "half-remembered, half-forgotten times of snug Victorian illusion, of gaslit comfort and contentment, of perfect dignity and grace," as Edgar Smith put it, we here in the bright blue 21st century still need to track the present.
To help us with that are two options from MX Publishing:
Mr. Holmes’ Advent Calendars (four book series - Amazon)
There are now four volumes of the advent calendar — each containing 24 daily mysteries: one for each day of Advent.
Follow in the master detective’s footsteps and use the evidence available to deduce what might have happened, find vital clues, decipher codes, check alibis and solve the crime case until the next morning when you turn the page and find Mr. Holmes’ solution and another exciting case waiting for you. Are you ready to put your detective skills to the test?
Authors Joseph Reinthaler, Sebastian Frenzel, and Anja Stiller provide great fun for fans of Sherlock Holmes and detective fiction of all ages in this delightful series. Available on Amazon.
2025 Sherlock Holmes Page A Day Calendar
This was one of our favorite items from last year — 365 days of quotes, illustrations and fun facts about Sherlock Holmes (some surprised even us!).
Following the sell-out success of the 2024 Page Per Day Calendar, this popular item is back with an all-new calendar for 2025, offering you stunning (and sometimes obscure) illustrations, inspiring quotes, clever quips, and entertaining historical tidbits straight from the world of Sherlock Holmes!
This collaboration between Mike Foy, acclaimed author of four volumes of A Study In Illustrations, and bestselling Holmes novelist Richard Ryan is a must-have for every true Sherlock Holmes devotee.
Hurry and order yours before the New Year arrives and more importantly, before these sell out like last year.
