The Problem of Thor Bridge by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Written by Jim Clelland (@UrbanSpaceMan64) and Monique Boodram (@TriflesAndEggs) The Problem of Thor Bridge, which first appeared in 1922, is one of my favourite Sherlock Holmes short stories from the collection “The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes” first published in the Strand Magazine.

Shadows of Sherlock Holmes edited by David Stuart Davies- A Review
Written by Jim Clelland (@UrbanSpaceman64) Shadows of Sherlock Holmes is a slightly misleading title as none of the short stories featured in the book have anything to do with Sherlock Holmes. It is merely that some of the stories take place in the time of Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary Barker Street detective. In The Shadow…
Sherlock Holmes and the Conundrum of Conan Doyle- Play Review
Written by Jim Clelland (@UrbanSpaceman64) We stand and we wait. There is nothing else to do. There are a lot of people waiting outside the entrance. Some are chatting with friends and acquaintances, some are smiling, some are silent, staring into the distance lost in their own thoughts. As we stand and wait, a small…
The Adventures of the Improvised Sherlock Holmes- Play Review
Written by Jim Clelland (@UrbanSpaceman64) Sherlock Holmes is one of the most enduring figures of my life.

The Return of the Baskervilles- Article Updates and the Sherlockian Stage
To bring in the holiday season, The Baskerville Pups are proud to return to all things Sherlockian (and Doylian, if we must go that far). We previously got along with a biography on Jeremy Brett, collectible 221B models, and an awful lot of surveys and opinions on the Canon. The Goodreads and Twitter platforms are…
Hearing of Sherlock Everywhere
Recently, Twitter created a space called “Communities,” where people can discuss their favorite topics in these spaces. We at the Baskerville Pups heard about it when the podcasters “I Here of Sherlock Everywhere” invited us to their Sherlock Holmes community. Then MX Publishing made one and we eventually followed. So now we are on Goodreads,…
Jeremy Brett: Playing a Part
This year, The Baskerville Pups have been given the opportunity to share our thoughts on the works published by MX Publishing. To start, I chose Maureen Whittaker’s Jeremy Brett: Playing a Part. Some of you may be familiar with her first Jeremy Brett biography, Jeremy Brett IS Sherlock Holmes, which is a mere sample of…
