After an admittedly trying year, many Sherlockians deserve multiple moments of delight, charm, and warmth during the holiday season. Thankfully, Belanger Books' new collection <strong><i><a href="https://amzn.to/3qxtruS" target="_blank">A Three-Pipe Christma</a>s</i></strong> is the perfect holiday tome. Mixing Sherlockian canon, scholarship, and pastiche, this book provides an exceptional, enjoyable read for Sherlockians of all persuasions.</p><p>
</p><p><strong><i>A Three-Pipe Christmas</i></strong> begins with "<a href="https://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/32/the-adventures-of-sherlock-holmes/351/adventure-7-the-adventure-of-the-blue-carbuncle/">The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle</a>", which leads into a trilogy of essays that provide Sherlockian insights into the context of the story. Julie McKuras, BSI ("The Duchess of Devonshire") in her essay "The Season of Forgiveness" and Monica M. Schmidt, BSI ("Julia Stoner") in her "A Most Difficult Time of the Year" highlight how the story reflects much of the joy <i>and </i>the melancholy of the holiday. As someone introduced to Holmes in his youth, I found the musings of Shannon Carlisle, BSI ("Beacons of the Future!") on introducing Holmes to her fourth-grade students in "A Brilliant Tale for the Youngest Sherlockians" especially touching and insightful.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHnsQdBlAsdWIt_WA2bGcrHC9N0okJty12-MrSVwnp3kXpNuL0rVSg3x-onql6Jb0eJybAza6wK_JEmpN7ImHACgF9_G-pWi7PjmuPa3UABPZSJiy8YPY8wyxb_do0wxyWXMNVHQLd3N7V/s2048/-leaving+Breckinridge.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1535" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHnsQdBlAsdWIt_WA2bGcrHC9N0okJty12-MrSVwnp3kXpNuL0rVSg3x-onql6Jb0eJybAza6wK_JEmpN7ImHACgF9_G-pWi7PjmuPa3UABPZSJiy8YPY8wyxb_do0wxyWXMNVHQLd3N7V/w480-h640/-leaving+Breckinridge.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">"Leaving Breckenridge" by <i>Strand </i>artist Jeffrey McKeever</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>Our next selection is "The Unique Hamlet" by Vincent Starrett, a tale that celebrates its centennial this year. As a first-time reader of this particular pastiche, I found it quite enjoyable for its sly sense of humor as well as its prose styling. (Or as one commenter states, the story's tone is "more Lewis Carroll than Conan Doyle," and that is to its credit). With its focus on book collecting and literature, "The Unique Hamlet" has more than earned its reputation as a high-end pastiche.</p><p>The essays that follow provide insight into the history of "The Unique Hamlet" describe its importance in written Sherlockian pastiche. The late Susan Rice, BSI ("Beeswing") describes it in her essay as the "gold standard" in its balance of humor and style. Dan Andricaco (who edited <b><i>The Three Pipe Christmas</i></b>) also discusses how Vincent Starrett deftly balances pastiche, parody, and satire in writing "The Unique Hamlet." In the final related essay, Randall Stock, BSI ("South African Securities") highlights how a story that satirizes literature and book collecting morphs into a moment when "satire becomes pastiche."</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigzBwzD8Fx9CxGsofCqmfds1I2cPqChBWd6JOL2GvaW9eFunh8utGQ5PqoNii1vZ_4BqRChoeAvJp4zluYwcDn_aVbrBnkiKFHcKpmr4QL4O_fgMkNMPtDw0teeOMtKuJWJD1Gfoe7kHvl/s2048/Unique+Dickensians+3.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigzBwzD8Fx9CxGsofCqmfds1I2cPqChBWd6JOL2GvaW9eFunh8utGQ5PqoNii1vZ_4BqRChoeAvJp4zluYwcDn_aVbrBnkiKFHcKpmr4QL4O_fgMkNMPtDw0teeOMtKuJWJD1Gfoe7kHvl/w426-h640/Unique+Dickensians+3.jpg" width="426" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Illustration by Brian Belanger</span></td></tr></tbody></table><p><br /></p><p>The final story is "The Adventure of the Unique Dickensians" by August Derleth, featuring the detective Solar Pons and Dr. Parker. Although Solar Pons is inspired by Sherlock Holmes (and "The Unique Dickenseians" lifts some tone and spirit from "The Unique Hamlet), calling Pons a pastiche of Holmes would not be entirely accurate. As the Pons-oriented essays by David Marcum PSI, Bob Byrne PSI, Roger Johnson, BSI ("Shinwell Johnson"), and Derrick Belanger, PSI attest, Sherlockians may find much to enjoy about exploring the Holmes-inspired yet modern-spirit tales of Solar Pons. </p><p>With its illustrations by Karen Gosselin providing a <i>Strand Magazine</i>-like feel, <b><i><a href="https://amzn.to/3qxtruS" target="_blank">The Three Pipe Christmas</a></i></b> serves both as an excellent introduction to Sherlockian thought as well as the ideal gift for a long-term student of the canon.

<br />
We love the idea of keeping the memory of Sherlock Holmes alive every day. Our <a href="http://ihose.co/ihose181" target="_blank">most recent interview</a> was with Levi Stahl and Stacey Shintani, editors of <i><a href="https://amzn.to/2sp90Xh" target="_blank">The Daily Sherlock Holmes</a></i>, which takes the idea to the extreme.<br />
<br />
<i><a href="http://strandmag.com/" target="_blank">The Strand Magazine</a></i> has another approach — one they've been taking for a number of years now: the <b>Sherlock Holmes Calendar</b>.<br />
<br />
The <a href="https://strandmag.com/product/sherlock-holmes-calendar-2020/" target="_blank">Sherlock Holmes Calendar 2020</a> goes beyond traditional Sherlock Holmes calendars we've seen previously, that have all Paget or Steele illustrations, or all purely dedicated to Basil Rathbone films or to the Granada series with Jeremy Brett.<br />
<br />
The Strand notes that the Sherlock Holmes Calendar is consistently their bestselling item, largely due to never using the same illustrations from year to year.<br />
<br />
This year, they have a treat in store for fans of the art of Sidney Paget, famous for first bringing Holmes to life for the original <i>Strand Magazine</i>. By the kind permission of several collectors, they have included the original paintings that Paget supplied to the Strand — in full color.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir6DmFM-cIMh4MSThskyyJvKWPDVzOv1DeY44QavBDuVffiCEk9cZPINULeqEUiLa1zmQngHtCNzkhDhIcKl0VUudRPgg_5Z638TDdwdC5FONpB-cDD1sjFPjBBb3PWA17vpcRLTHcQTUj/s1600/Strand+2020+Calendar+-+3STU.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="627" data-original-width="811" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir6DmFM-cIMh4MSThskyyJvKWPDVzOv1DeY44QavBDuVffiCEk9cZPINULeqEUiLa1zmQngHtCNzkhDhIcKl0VUudRPgg_5Z638TDdwdC5FONpB-cDD1sjFPjBBb3PWA17vpcRLTHcQTUj/s320/Strand+2020+Calendar+-+3STU.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
In addition to the Pagets, there is art by Jeffrey McKeever including his painting “Sherlock Holmes on the Prowl for Gift” and three other paintings that were commissioned by the Strand featuring Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Also included are paintings by our friend Australian illustrator Phil Cornell who created a tribute to "The Dancing Men," and “Sherlock on Trains.”<br />

<br />
Over the course of the holiday season, some watchers on Facebook may have seen images of an I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere mug pop up from time to time.<br />
<br />
These were gifts from the creators of the show to our patrons from 2018 who supported the show to a certain level throughout the year.<br />
<br />
Because of how well they were received, we decided to create a more formal set of tiers for our supporters so you can help keep this site and the shows (both <a href="http://ihose.co/ihoseshows" target="_blank">I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere</a> and <a href="http://sherlockholmespodcast.com/" target="_blank">Trifles</a>) going.<br />
<br />
Here are a few shots from some satisfied patrons:<br />

The final tier for merchandise is at for pledges of $40 per month. Get your very own IHOSE pillow to accent your home. Tuck in with a good book and this companion.<br />
<br />
<br />
We have other rewards at higher levels, which include sponsorship opportunities, custom voicemails, and guest appearances on our shows.<br />
<br />
And if we unlock a collective <b>$100</b> per episode level, we'll be able to provide transcripts on a more regular basis. That is, if the full total of pledges from everyone reaches $100 per episode for I Her of Sherlock Everywhere, we'll be in a good place. We're not too far away now!<br />
<br />
<br />
For those who have contributed, already, <b>thank you</b>. Your support means more than you know. And for those who have been waiting for something tangible to justify your generosity (other than our dulcet voices), here's your chance.<br />
