Sherlock Holmes, the consulting detective

Do you know this silly cap is never mentioned in the stories? Do you know that Holmes' favourite pipe was not calabash pipe? Do you know Holmes had never said: "Elementary, my dear Watson"?

And the most important question - do you think those and even more bizzare questions can be a fun? Then let me introduce you to
500 or so individuals who happen to think the same!

The Hounds of Internet: mailing list about all things sherlockian. One of the best internet communities I have ever met. Visit the page, read some samples and subscribe.

Want more electronic Holmes? Visit Sherlockian Holmepage, mother of all the sherlockiana on the web.

Have you read all of the stories and hungry for more? Explore the world of the pastiches: Sherlockian booklist.
If you are lucky, you will find some that fit your image of Holmes. I certainly was lucky to discover the novels by Laurie R. King:

The Beekeeper's Apprentice, or On the Segregation of the Queen (1994)
A Monstrous Regiment of Women (1995)
A Letter of Mary (1996) and, finally:
The Moor (1998)

There is an excellent page dedicated to those books: The Beekeeper's Holmes Page. On that page you will also learn about the mailing list Russ-l whose messages I check first thing in the morning. I use it in the digest mode in order not to check them around the clock. ;-)

Tired of all the reading? (Shame on you) There are many Sherlock Holmes movies as well.
I started to create a page where I hope to present some of the actors who played him over the years and continents. Check it here.

Oh, what did you say? It must be childish and almost crazy to be a Sherlock Holmes fan? Well, will you give it a second thought if I say that Isaac Asimov and Poul Anderson did not think so? What, you don't like SF as well? You must be on the wrong page then, click the "Back" button of your browser. If that is not the case, click here for some more sherlockian links.
