We took the show on the road!<br />
<br />
Burt and Scott ventured to Bloomington, Indiana for the Baker Street Irregulars' conference "Building an Archive" at the Lilly Library at Indiana University. It was an event filled with conversations and exhibitions that delighted all, collectors or not.<br />
<br />
The event was the celebration of the BSI Archive officially opening at the Lilly. It featured a walk-through the exhibition "The History of the BSI Through 221 Objects" and a number of panels about the archive, collecting, collectors and more.<br />
<br />
We bring you some of the voices from the event, including a number of presenters, the informed staff of the Lilly, the conference organizers, and more. These people include Marsha Pollak, Ray Betzner, Peter Blau, Glen Miranker, Steve Rothman, Mike Whelan ("Wiggins" of the BSI), Hartley Nathan, Michael Kean ("Wiggins"-in-the-wings), Joel Silver, Erika Dowell, and BSI Conferences lead Ross Davies.<br />

Remembering Jeremy Brett on His 86th Birthday

Today marks what would have been Jeremy Brett's 86th birthday. It seems unthinkable to imagine the definitive Sherlock Holmes from the Granada productions of the 1980s and 1990s as an octogenarian, and even more unthinkable that it has been 24 years since he left us.<br />
<br />
For an entire generation (perhaps more!), Jeremy Brett <i>is</i> Sherlock Holmes. It's difficult to underestimate his impact on Sherlockians, as his imagery and influence is still prevalent today. Imagine what his impact would have been if we had the Internet and social media with us during the run of the Granada series.<br />
<br />
Speaking of the Granada series, you might consider checking out <b><i><a href="http://wessexpress.com/html/studyincelluloid.html">A Study in Celluloid: A Producer's Account of Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes</a></i></b> by Michael Cox, the producer of the series and <b><i><a href="https://amzn.to/2WA4vEu">Bending the Willow: Jeremy Brett</a></i></b> by David Stuart Davies. Both are excellent accounts behind the scenes of the show and the actor.<br />
<br />
As a tribute to his memory, we give you this delightful remembrance of <a href="https://youtu.be/FcPb4FKUWWM">Brett's playfulness as Sherlock Holmes</a>:<br />

<br /></center>
<br />
And this video compilation of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UOTIW83oXs" target="_blank">the best Sherlock Holmes quotes</a> from the Granada series (Season 1) is as nice as any:<br />

For those following these pages, next weekend marks the <a href="http://bsiarchivelilly.org/">BSI Archive event</a> at the Lilly Library at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.bsitrust.org/">BSI Archive</a> itself is an important repository of items related to the history of the <a href="http://www.bakerstreetirregulars.com/">Baker Street Irregulars</a>, the foremost literary society dedicated to Sherlock Holmes.<br />
<br />
And celebrating its new location will include a special exhibit of 221 items of significance from the collection. What will be among those 221 pieces? Glen Miranker, BSI ("<i>The Origin of Tree Worship</i>") shared some of those secrets, as well as the significance of the Lilly Library in <a href="http://ihose.co/ihose175">Episode 175: Building an Archive</a>.<br />

<br />
Perhaps it's something you can take with you on the road if you're attending the event. Or perhaps listen to next Saturday, if you're not.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, here's what the boys at Baker Street Elementary have to say about it...<br />

Usually things run like clockwork around these parts. But with both Burt and Scott on the road for work, and trying to coordinate daytime, evening, and even weekend schedules with various guests, sometimes it doesn't work out.<br />
<br />
So, we're returning to our roots and just having a chat with each other. It's a wide-ranging conversation that takes us from the 92nd Street Y with Joel Grey and Nicholas Meyer (Joel Grey played a small part in <i>The Seven Per-Cent Solution</i>, of course), to the Sons of the Copper Beeches in Philadelphia and their new members. In both instances, we discuss the importance of tradition.<br />
<br />
We remember a member of the BSI who recently passed away and his considerable contribution to Sherlockian scholarship. Speaking of the BSI, we mention the upcoming BSI Weekend. It hasn't been officially announced yet, but you can follow at a couple of sites.<br />
<br />
We also make an announcement of a special and exclusive episode, only for our <a href="http://patreon.com/ihearofsherlock">Patreon supporters</a>. If you become a supporter before the end of 2019, you can have access to this special outtakes episode that we're planning. Hear what goes on behind the scenes at IHOSE!<br />
<br />
We also read some listener comments! Was yours one of them? Maybe you should submit a comment and we'll read yours next time.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
While it's the largest of the 48 contiguous states on the USA, Texas warrants only one mention in the Sherlock Holmes stories. The ship that carried the perpetrators of the Openshaw murders was named <i>Lone Star</i>, and Holmes recognized its significance:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"...the name is that which is given to one of the states of the Union."</blockquote>
Watson replied, "Texas, I think."<br />
<br />
Holmes clearly didn't care:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“I was not and am not sure which; but I knew that the ship must have an American origin.”</blockquote>
Well! Texas is having none of that. <a href="https://www.dfw-sherlock.org/about.html">The Crew of the Barque Lone Star</a> was founded in 1972 as a Sherlockian society in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and after having revived itself in 1996, is a thriving group. Their members are the very crew that bring us Baker Street Elementary every two weeks.<br />
<br />
But Dallas is also the site of <a href="https://www.bouchercon2019.com/">Bouchercon 2019</a>, the annual mystery conference named for Anthony Boucher, BSI ("<i>The Valley of Fear</i>"). Boucher was an eminent Sherlockian of his time, based in San Francisco. Most famously he wrote scripts for the Basil Rathbone / Nigel Bruce radio series <i>The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes</i>. He received his investiture in the Baker Street Irregulars in 1949.<br />
<br />
Before we head off to Baker Street Elementary, here are a couple of links related to Boucher's work:<br />

<br />
Virtually every Sherlockian knows the poem "<a href="https://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2013/10/celebrate-national-poetry-day.html#.XarWOuhKjb0">221B</a>" by Vincent Starrett, BSI ("<i>A Study in Scarlet</i>").<br />
<br />
Starrett was one of the giants in the early Sherlockian world, and his works are still remembered today. Some of them (particularly his non-Sherlockian work) may be unfamiliar to many, but that's been changing in recent years, thanks to the intrepid and tireless efforts of Ray Betzner, BSI ("The Agony Column").<br />
<br />
Ray writes and edits <b><a href="http://www.vincentstarrett.com/">Studies in Starrett</a></b>, the blog dedicated to exploring the life and works of Charles Vincent Emerson Starrett. Ray is probably the foremost expert on Vincent Starrett, along with Susan Rice, BSI ("Beeswing"). You may recall that the pair appeared on <a href="https://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2014/02/episode-61-private-life-of-vincent.html#.XarWPuhKjb0">I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere Episode 61: The Private Life of Vincent Starrett</a>.<br />
<br />
Ray's work on Studies in Starrett has made it abundantly clear how much passion he has for his subject and how much enjoyment he derives from it. Through meticulous research — and a little Sherlockian deduction — Ray is able to discern details about books, inscriptions, and other related items that are part of the Starrettian lore.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>The Netflix of Sherlockian Blogs</b></h2>
Today, Ray launched a series of entries all about the origins of what it probably Vincent Starrett's most famous work among Sherlock Holmes enthusiasts: his iconic poem from 1942 titled "221B."<br />
<br />
This is a poem that is almost universally read at Sherlockian gatherings. The line "and it is always 1895" has become synonymous with the time and place of Sherlock Holmes, and at this point is nearly Canonical in its usage and recognition.<br />
<br />
Ray has written eleven chapters that chronicle the poem, from a background of the time and place in which it was written, to Starrett's struggles and hopes and his love for Sherlock Holmes, early origins of the verses, its dedication and first appearance, and its spread and ultimate fame.<br />
<br />
The chapters are laid out below, each one seamlessly leading to the next. They are amply complemented with illustrations, scans, manuscripts, photos, and even audio clips. It's a delightful multimedia journey through Starrett's work.<br />
<br />
Chapter 1:       <a href="http://www.vincentstarrett.com/blog/2019/6/4/here-dwell-together-still-">Introduction and Prologue: ‘Where it is always 1895’</a><br />

Chapter 4:       <a href="http://www.vincentstarrett.com/blog/2019/6/10/here-dwell-together-still-two-men-of-note">‘Here dwell together still’</a><br />

<br />
We're very glad to see this dissertation on one of the Sherlockian world's finest poems. Would it be too much to hope for this in printed form?<br />

He was almost single-handedly responsible for the revival of interest of Sherlock Holmes in the 1970s with <i><a href="https://amzn.to/32iYkGT">The Seven Percent Solution</a></i>. Now, 45 years after his first novel about Sherlock Holmes, <b>Nicholas Meyer</b>, BSI ("A Fine Morocco Case") returns with <i><a href="https://amzn.to/2VLmfMH"><b>The Adventure of the Peculiar Protocols</b></a></i>.<br />
<br />
The case takes us to January of 1905, when Holmes and Watson are summoned by Mycroft to undertake a clandestine investigation. A British Secret Service agent was found floating in the Thames with a manuscript smuggled into England that cost her life. The pages are supposedly the minutes of the meeting of a secret group intent on taking over the world: The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Holmes and Watson are sent to determine whether it's a hoax, what the perpetrators are trying to accomplish, and why they want to keep their work out of the hands of the Secret Service.<br />

What's different this time around, some 19 years after his previous Holmes novel? Where did he get his inspiration? We talk to Nick about these things, plus his view of storytelling. To him, it has to be in service of something larger than a gimmick, and paraphrasing Victor Hugo, he said, "There's nothing so irresistible as an idea whose time has come."</div>

Review: A Pocketful of Lodestones by Elizabeth Crowens

<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<b>“and the traveler has to return as he came” [FINA]</b></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNILqXH2NNahFVgVrfQ5x5_nE053uDhyw2SYZf-_7Hcd4YOfbSV1CFByCbFpUvycEphghyphenhyphenH_wnU8bay-Rd3Ci3v9BDRYSbY6DU0tWKrDaotNKEwcCsTJ4tSNl795CETa42TTuQeURVmw8i/s1600/Crowens+-+A+Pocketful+of+Lodestones+cropped.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="692" data-original-width="868" height="510" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNILqXH2NNahFVgVrfQ5x5_nE053uDhyw2SYZf-_7Hcd4YOfbSV1CFByCbFpUvycEphghyphenhyphenH_wnU8bay-Rd3Ci3v9BDRYSbY6DU0tWKrDaotNKEwcCsTJ4tSNl795CETa42TTuQeURVmw8i/s640/Crowens+-+A+Pocketful+of+Lodestones+cropped.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
As scholars of the Holmes canon, many Sherlockians often find themselves exploring the other literary work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Despite the canon being his “highlight,” there are many intriguing novels and stories that highlight Arthur Conan Doyle’s writing style.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Two such examples are found in Elizabeth Crowen’s novels in the <b>Time Traveler Professor</b> series: <i><a href="https://amzn.to/35tFf6O" target="_blank">Silent Meridian</a></i> and the recently published follow up <i><a href="https://amzn.to/2qbTrRN" target="_blank">A Pocketful of Lodestones</a></i>.<br />
<br />
Both books center around John Patrick Scott, a man who partners with Conan Doyle around issues of spiritualism...and time travel. <i><b>Silent Meridian</b></i> consists of a series of adventures in time travel with a healthy dose of intrigue (including a shift in Scott’s relationship to Conan Doyle, the activities around a mysterious red book, and shifting encounters with a variety of Victorian-era historical figures).<br />
<br />
As the initial entry into the series, <i><b>Silent Meridian</b></i> reads more like several vignettes rather than a single novel, but that plays to Crowen’s strength as a writer. Ideas, plot strands, and characters are woven into the narrative in prose that reads like an approximation of Conan Doyle’s style yet maintaining a unique tone and voice.<br />
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><a href="https://amzn.to/2qbTrRN" target="_blank"><img alt="https://amzn.to/2qbTrRN" border="0" data-original-height="1360" data-original-width="880" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin25L9mBXvDim7-prLJOanZiiygSpbVFioYxS7gb6BRi5zMHXYZX4PJlIAsZt3vasTIbbVxmNF4foq-JV0fWzKghtoWhl_HQCC2LIwlxPGAD20sc9f5Km5dV0vGXxFJdpWrb67vrhTu-ge/s320/Crowens+-+A+Pocketful+of+Lodestones.jpg" width="207" /></a></span></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://amzn.to/2qbTrRN" target="_blank">A Pocketful of Lodestones</a></i></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
But <i><b>A Pocketful of Lodestones</b></i>, the second book, is where Elizabeth Crowens solidifies her voice and vision. Building on the events of <i>Silent Meridian</i>, Crowens crafts a more cohesive story by documenting Scott’s activities during World War I. Both books have a unique charm due to their wide panoply of clever and imaginative ideas that never feel forced or self-conscious. Elizabeth Crowens tells a very unique story across both volumes that serves as a delightful, enjoyable read.<br />
<br />
One of the delights of the book is how Crowens uses Arthur Conan Doyle as one of the lead characters. Although many Sherlockian pastiches integrate historical characters into their tales, Crowens’ inclusion of Conan Doyle never feels forced — in fact, Conan Doyle becomes a very intriguing character throughout both books.<br />
<br />
Although difficult to explain without spoiling, some of the events surrounding Scott’s and Conan Doyle’s relationship will be especially intriguing to Sherlockians. (And yes, Sherlock Holmes plays a key role throughout both books, but not in the way you might imagine). And there’s a passage in <i>A Pocketful of Lodestones</i> that will have you rethinking—and possibly revisiting—Conan Doyle’s work on <i>The Lost World</i>.<br />
<br />
<br />
Both books in the Time Traveler Professor series are available in <a href="https://amzn.to/2VFZVUH" target="_blank">softcover</a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/35vXcBz" target="_blank">Kindle</a> form and both books provide for great, pleasurable reading.<br />
<br />
Elizabeth Crowens deserves kudos for crafting a unique story through both <i>Silent Meridian</i> and <i>A Pocketful of Lodestones</i>, and will make you eager to catch a potential volume three. <br />

Baker Street Elementary – Abstract Thinker

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Early on in the Sherlock Holmes stories, we learn about Sherlock Holmes's aptitude with regard to philosophy. In his famous list titled "<i>Sherlock Holmes</i>—his limits," Watson lays out Holmes's strengths and weaknesses.<br />
<br />
Holmes's philosophical bent was the second item on Watson's list, and Holmes didn't fare well:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
2. [Knowledge of] Philosophy.—Nil.</blockquote>
<br />
And yet, he didn't have difficulty in defeating Professor Moriarty, who, as a professor of mathematics, Holmes also called "a genius, a philosophy, an abstract thinker." [FINA]<br />
<br />
Perhaps because Holmes himself was also an abstract thinker.<br />
<br />
Yes, he relied on data to form his opinions (“Data! data! data!” he cried impatiently. “I can’t make bricks without clay.” [COPP]), but he also was imaginative enough to consider different perspectives or possibilities that didn't occur to the traditional police.<br />
<br />
Take "Silver Blaze" for example. Holmes knew to look for the wax vesta that was buried in the mud, he observed animals (the dog, the sheep, etc.), and had this to say about the inspector who was in charge of the case:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Inspector Gregory, to whom the case has been committed, is an extremely competent officer. Were he but gifted with <i>imagination </i>he might rise to great heights in his profession.” [Emphasis ours.]</blockquote>
We're reminded of a quote from <i>Young Sherlock Holmes</i>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"A great detective relies on perception, intelligence, and imagination."</blockquote>
<br />
And in that triumvirate of traits is much of what makes up a philosopher's approach.<br />
<br />
It's difficult to imagine Sherlock Holmes applying reason and perspective without using philosophy. Perhaps he picked up what he knew at Baker Street Elementary...</div>

Since Sir Arthur Conan Doyle first began the tradition in 1927, Sherlockians worldwide have debated which are the "best" Sherlock Holmes stories. There have been polls, surveys and lists. Articles, books, and debates. The core list is usually consistent, with a few variables along the way.<br />
<br />
Ashley Polasek—a familiar name to listeners of I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere—took up the challenges as only she could: considering the stories and their reinterpretation over the years. The character of Sherlock Holmes has evolved over the years in multiple media, and as someone with a doctorate in adaptation studies, Ashley was in the perfect position to write <i><a href="https://amzn.to/2mMRFFz" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Being Sherlock: A Sherlockian's Stroll Through the Best Sherlock Holmes Stories</a></i> (Lyons Press).<br />
<br />
She joins us to share the thinking that led to her curated list of ten short stories and one novel from the Canon. And she has a suggestion for a future potential I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere gift.<br />

Baker Street Elementary – Get a Whiff of This

<h4 style="text-align: center;">
“At the very first whiff of it, my brain and imagination were beyond control” [DEVI] </h4>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGyHxoov2AdCNzI-sA382WHyzmCYKmU5vuVxxUUbwgmzd_zESpxNTWBoDo-0BOUVmZPf0EpIOXFT9y59il288HBvx1-_JJJXxHhZAn2orzWJPWbYZasKlLBplbQMHDaY9thgs_w1diI7ch/s1600/Baker+Street+Elementary.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGyHxoov2AdCNzI-sA382WHyzmCYKmU5vuVxxUUbwgmzd_zESpxNTWBoDo-0BOUVmZPf0EpIOXFT9y59il288HBvx1-_JJJXxHhZAn2orzWJPWbYZasKlLBplbQMHDaY9thgs_w1diI7ch/s640/Baker+Street+Elementary.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One of the pleasures of collecting Sherlockian books is walking into old bookstores and—<i>sniff</i>—smelling that wonderful odor of old books. It brings with it a sense of contentment and anticipation, that soon you'll be enjoying something between the covers of an old book.<br />
<br />
One of the things we don't pause to reflect on though, is the odor of the streets in Victorian London. Stepping out for a walk as Holmes and Watson did in "The Resident Patient," they must have been overwhelmed with the vapors emanating from the thoroughfare.<br />
<br />
In the Winter 2016 <i><a href="http://ihose.co/BSJ" target="_blank">Baker Street Journal</a></i> (Vol. 66, No. 4) the late Peter Calamai, BSI ("<i>The Leeds Mercury</i>") referenced the "pervasive daily filth" that had "been largely scrubbed clean in the Canon." And Steve Mason, one of the trio that provides us with Baker Street Elementary every fortnight—and an administrator at the EPA—gave a talk at the Norwegian Explorers conference three years ago on sanitation and smells in Victorian London.<br />
<br />
As Calamai observed, the absence of mentioning the filth in the Sherlock Holmes stories could have been because it was such a commonly-experienced occurrence that it didn't warrant additional ink.<br />
<br />
Certainly, Watson's (and Holmes's) olfactory senses were attuned to other scents:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>In "<b>The Dancing Men</b>," Hilton Cubitt "seemed to bring a whiff of his strong, fresh, bracing, east-coast air with him as he entered."</li>
<li>In "<b>The Devil's Foot</b>," Watson inhaled the substance and found that "the very first whiff of it my brain and my imagination were beyond all control."</li>
<li>Holmes detected "the distinct odour of lime-cream" in Henry Baker's hat in "<b>The Blue Carbuncle</b>."</li>
<li>Watson noted the "subtle and aromatic aroma" of Thaddeus Sholto's hookah, and later that the air in Bartholomew's chamber "was heavy with a peculiarly pungent, tar-like odor" in <b><i>The Sign of Four</i></b>. Fortunately, Toby was able to track "the pungent smell of the creasote [that] rose high above all other contending scents."</li>
<li>Holmes mentioned a "faint but incisive scent" from gloves "that the curious tarry odour was oozing" in "<b>The Blanched Soldier</b>."</li>
<li>There was "a pleasant almondy odour" that arose from the jar of Prussic acid in "<b>The Veiled Lodger</b>."</li>
<li>Josiah Amberley chose to fill "his house with strong odors" to cover up some other smell in "<b>The Retired Colourman</b>."</li>
</ul>
<br />
There are certainly other instances; these are but <a href="http://sherlockholmespodcast.com/" target="_blank">trifles</a>. Meanwhile, let's sniff out what's going on over at Baker Street Elementary...</div>

We continue to crank out our weekly show, <a href="http://www.sherlockholmespodcast.com/" target="_blank">Trifles</a> (available on any podcasting service), currently up to our 142nd episode. <a href="https://www.sherlockholmespodcast.com/p/subscribe.html" target="_blank">Sign up for email updates there</a> and/or subscribe via your audio device for weekly updates every Wednesday, when we take about 15 minutes to talk about one or two issues that we've noticed within the Sherlock Holmes stories.<br />
<br />
It's an approach that we hope brings more people into our fold who are new to Sherlock Holmes and are fascinated with the details within the story, or who may have some questions about what they read.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's what you missed in <a href="http://www.sherlockholmespodcast.com/2019/08/" target="_blank">our August shows</a>.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>August Update</b></h3>
Note: If you've listened to more than one episode of Trifles, just a word of caution: <b>don't skip the intro or the final few seconds of each show</b>. We vary the introductions and we have a different closing quote from the Granada production on every episode. Collect them all!<br />
<br />
<br />
We began the month with the second part in a two-part series, <a href="http://ihose.co/trifles136" target="_blank">John Watson's Youth - Part 2</a>. This was a particularly special set of episodes because we featured Bob Katz, BSI ("Dr. Anstruther"), who told us about his intricate and ingenious theory.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
We sailed on to our monthly recurring theme of <b>Sports and Games</b>, heading onto the water with <a href="http://ihose.co/trifles137" target="_blank">Ahoy! Rowing, Boating and Yachting</a>. More than just vessels of transportation, these were sporting events. Where did we find them in the Canon?<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">

<br />
<br />
Our other regular feature, <b>International Sherlock Holmes</b>, is a monthly look at various nationalities and countries in the Canon and how they impact the stories. This month, it's <a href="https://ihose.co/trifles138" target="_blank">Russians and Sherlock Holmes</a>, as we determine the connections to Russia.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
And we're doing it do you again: ending the month with a cliffhanger. It's <a href="http://ihose.co/trifles139" target="_blank">Music in the Canon, Part 1: Composers and their Works</a>. Whose names come up and what do we know of certain songs that were sung, played or mentioned in passing?<br />
<br />
