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… Continue reading Shadows of Sherlock Holmes edited by David Stuart Davies- A Review

The Baskerville Pups

Before the end of the month, let’s aim for these goals, so we can get the game afoot-ing… so we can press on.

Recruiting Pups

The litter basket is empty! Come introduce yourselves and make yourselves at home. If you or someone you know is looking for some reading fun, take a trip to 221B Baker Street with the Baskerville Pups. Spread the word so we can reach to everyone, especially the youths who can add something fun to their summer holiday. This club can boost interactions and interest in literature and surprisingly, science. The Baskerville Pups is all about discovery, and at the end of it all, we want to help the Pups find something that would have an everlasting and positive effect on them.

Side note! Experienced Sherlockians are more than welcome to come guide the Pups as they read, learn, and play.
