As is our tradition this time of the year, we bring to you the Christmas classic that surrounds "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle."<br />
<br />
Typically we try to provide the freshest and most unique content here, but there are times when a grand tradition prevents us from keeping such a mandate - including our own self-imposed rule of trying to capture a relevant and original Canonical phrase for the title of each entry, never to be repeated. Just as the <i>Wall Street Journal</i> annually reproduces a 1949 editorial written by Vermont Royster called "<a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204464404577112431986005786.html"><i>In Hoc Anno Domini</i></a>," we saw no reason to avoid replication here.<br />
<br />
In the case of "The Second Morning After Christmas" [BLUE] which has been used in <a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2006/12/second-morning-after-christmas-blue_27.html"><b>2006</b></a>, <a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2008/12/second-morning-after-christmas-blue_27.html"><b>2008</b></a>, <b><a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2009/12/second-morning-after-christmas-blue_27.html">2009</a> <a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2010/12/second-morning-after-christmas-blue_25.html">2010</a> </b>and <a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2011/12/second-morning-after-christmas-blue_27.html"><b>2011</b></a>, we find that we have a post that continues to please, so we'll continue the tradition.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="" name="more"></a>If this is new to you, please feel free to share and use this at your own Sherlockian society holiday meetings. The only thing we ask is that you attribute the poem to its rightful author. We have taken the liberty of using this very poem in the latest episode of our sister podcast, <b><a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2012/12/episode-49-ill-have-blue-christmas.html">I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere</a></b>. We invite you to listen to the reading, as well as that of "A Christmas Story Without Slush" by Christopher Morley. The couplet provides a very satisfying listening session during this Christmas season.<br />
<br />
So, we bring you "Two Days After Christmas," a tribute to "The Blue Carbuncle" in the style of Clement Moore's <a href="http://iment.com/maida//familytree/henry/xmas/poemvariants/troysentinel1823.htm" style="color: #003366;">A Visit from St. Nick</a>.<br />

The beautiful original series of <i>The Baker Street Journal</i> was in production, and it was in 1948 that the Irregulars took their first plunge into book publishing. This first effort was a deluxe slipcased edition of <i>The Blue Carbuncle</i>. Published in a limited edition of 1500, even this relatively small number was an over-estimation of its initial demand (a common<br />occurrance for Sherlockian publishers even to this day…) However now, 50-plus years later, the availability of this book is limited. You can still find a copy…for a price, but a good one will cost you a premium.<br /><br />The Irregulars went on publishing books, and revived <i><a href="http://bakerstreetjournal.com/"><b>The Baker Street Journal</b></a></i> when it foundered upon the financial rocks of its own ambition. After decades <b><a href="http://www.bakerstreetjournal.com/itemsforsale/allitems.html">the BSI did issue books</a></b> on a scale as grand as this one, but never one with the charm of the 1948 edition of <i>The Blue Carbuncle</i>. While browsing an on-line rare book site, I ran across the following description by an anonymous dealer who describes what The Blue Carbuncle is for Sherlockians perfectly:<br /><br /><a name="more"></a><blockquote class="tr_bq">Rare, sought, somewhat mystical copy of one of the few publications that the most famous New York-based club dedicated to the scholarly romance of Sherlock Holmes ever produced. This was a Christmas gift idea to the membership back in 1948. There is a great introduction by one of it’s most famous members, the great Christopher Morley and historical background notes by the equally scholarly Edgar W. Smith in the back. Sherlockian Society members were basically encouraged to use this story as a “Read Aloud” Christmas message similar in design and nature to the famous classic “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens. It was also the first time that “The Blue Carbuncle” ever appeared as a story by itself in the form of a book. A reflection of the golden age of private Gentlemen’s Clubs, of large high backed armchairs, of pipe smoke drifting in the air and a rattle of newpapers and tinkling glasses of port or brandy in quiet reflection. </blockquote><br />Gone, but not forgotten and I sure wish it were around again.<br /><br /><i>The Blue Carbuncle</i><br />The Baker Street Irregulars<br />New York City, 1948<br /><br />Introduction by Christopher Morley, Edited w/a Bibliographical Note by Edgar W. Smith.

<br />
A review of <b><i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1780920369/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1780920369&linkCode=as2&tag=thebakerstree-20">Sherlock Holmes and the Affair in Transylvania</a></i></b> by Gerry O'Hara.<br />
<br />
I love the cover and artwork inside the book. The illustrations are by P.M. Rose (the author's wife) and punctuate the feel of the story perfectly. (You can even buy the artwork you see in the book!)<br />
<br />
The writing on the back cover is in a small font even though there's plenty of room, and the margins inside the book are quite large. My hackles were raised and I questioned the writing before I even started reading.  <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I found a mistake on the first page. Because of these red flags, it took me some effort to get into the story. I understand that the book was edited (by Tom Evans) but, with great respect to Mr. Evans, I say it could do with another thorough edit. There are mistakes throughout the story and the writing gets bogged down by extraneous words and over-full descriptions but the story shone through, anyway.<br />
<br />
The book is strong and purposeful and though my preferences lie in more of a fun read, I thoroughly enjoyed the characters. It's a shame the errors in grammar and punctuation detract from what would otherwise be a great book.<br />
<br />
<a name="more"></a><br />
<br />
It was a darker book than I had anticipated but it is about vampires and murder! As I said, the story was solid and well told. However, I didn't like the author's use of a scene from one of Doyle's stories, as if it was the first time Sherlock Holmes talked about viewing a peaceful countryside as a hotbed of hidden crime. The author presented it as if it was his own.<br />
<br />
I would have liked to have seen more deducing from Sherlock-his character didn't quite ring true to the original for me. Dr. Watson's character was spot on. I loved him and his narration.<br />
<br />
All in all, I would recommend this book to readers who love Dr. Watson, a good vampire story and those who aren't bothered by errors throughout the book that seem, to me, avoidable.<br />

<br />
"Compliments of the season" is how Watson described his activities regarding a visit he paid to Holmes during the Christmas season.<br />
<br />
And we know "<b><a href="http://www.ignisart.com/camdenhouse/canon/blue.htm">The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle</a></b>" as the sole Christmas story in the Canon of Sherlock Holmes stories. And rather than focus on the nostalgic and its place in the lineup of winter classics, we discuss how this classic fits in the pantheon of Holmes stories in its own right as a tale of friendship, crime, discovery and what we've come to realize as some of the typical Baker Street scenes.<br />
<br />
In an effort to pay homage to this Christmas classic, the Baker Street Irregulars in 1948 crafted a special edition of "The Blue Carbuncle" that included a wonderful essay by Christopher Morley titled "<a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=RsQIjpXdDEgC&lpg=PP1&dq=A%20christmas%20story%20without%20slush&pg=PA118#v=onepage&q&f=false">A Christmas Story Without Slush</a>." About BLUE, Morley said, "it was superb art. It hasn't a word too many or two few." That essay itself has become something of a classic as well, and we're delighted to share it with our listeners here.<br />
<br />
After Burt inhabits the person of Morley for our reading, we come to a rather alarming and satisfying conclusion. We would be interested to hear if you share our assessment.<br />
<br />
We go on to express admiration for the dramatized versions of the story - particularly by Jeremy Brett and David Burke for Granada and Peter Cushing and Nigel Stock for the BBC. We even invent our own version of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon with one of the actors who appeared in each.<br />
<br />
As part of the holiday season, we also offered up our own - rather eclectic - list of gift ideas and sites where you might find the same. Herewith, the gift giving guide for Sherlockians (or perhaps those from the Steampunk crowd as well) during the holiday season:</div>
