Love Or Lust

“a strange, loud whiz” [EMPT]&nbsp;   &nbsp; We came across a quite unusual observation — a Trifle, if you will — in an old issue of The Baker Street Journal. An article by Antony Boucher called "An Aborted Avatar." Boucher discovered a turn of the century play called The King of Gee-Whiz that involved Sherlock Holmes in a quite unusual setting. The play was co-written by L. Frank Baum, of The Wizard of Oz fame. It's just a Trifle.&nbsp; &nbsp; Another "Trifling Trifles" episode — short-form content that doesn't warrant a full episode — is coming your way in a few days.

An Aborted Avatar

“so ardent a bicyclist must be full of energy” [SOLI]&nbsp;   &nbsp; The latest installment in our review of Morley-Montgomery Award-winning articles is by Andrew Jay Peck, BSI ("Inspector Baynes"): "The Solitary Man-Uscript" from Vol. 22, No. 2 of The Baker Street Journal in 1972. Just who was the Solitary Cyclist? There are two cyclists in the story, and one is a young lady simply trying to get to her train safely; the other is a bearded man with sunglasses hunched over his handlebars. Only one of them can be our cyclist. It's just a Trifle.&nbsp; &nbsp; Don't forget to check out our "Trifling Trifles" series -- shorter content that didn't warrant a full episode, available exclusively for our paying subscribers.

The Solitary Man-Uscript

“You have done your best to get an innocent man hanged.” [NORW]&nbsp;   &nbsp; Capital punishment in the United Kingdom evolved over a period of time. From the mid-17th century through 1820, the Bloody Code tracked some 200 crimes punishable by death. In which Sherlock Holmes stories do we hear about capital punishment, and under England's laws of the late Victorian period, who would have been eligible for death by hanging? It's just a Trifle.&nbsp; &nbsp; Don't forget to listen to "Trifling Trifles" — short-form content that doesn't warrant a full episode. This is a benefit&nbsp;exclusively for our paying subscribers.

Capital Punishment

Sergio Colomino y Jordi Palomé se sirvieron de El gran hiato, período tremendamente fructífero para los pastiches y fanfictions de Sherlock Holmes, para crear una trilogía brillante y magistralmente documentada con la que ampliar el recital de aventuras del ilustre detective de Baker Street. En este nuevo episodio vamos a hablar con ambos sobre esta saga de cómic.

“put £100 down in front of him” [BLUE]&nbsp;   &nbsp; Humans are suckers for round numbers. And 100 seems like a perfectly reasonable one to settle on. It's the first three-digit number (in Arabic numbers, that is; Romans were happy to hit a C note). When it comes to £100 in the Sherlock Holmes stories, it's a figure often associated with some sort of scam — enough to get attention and secure the trust of the mark. Which stories feature&nbsp;£100 and what were the circumstances? It's just a Trifle. If you have a question for us, please email us at trifles@ihearofsherlock.com.

“a case for personal investigation” [SUSS]&nbsp;   &nbsp;  The number of Sherlock Holmes pastiches is endless. They include stories and novels set in any era, any place, and any time. They all bring the Great Detective to new audiences — so how do you go about selecting (just) fifty-two to explore? Join our conversation with Paul Bishop as we explore his new book, . Paul is the author of 15 novels and numerous TV and film scripts — and also a 35-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department. Paul’s new book is a selection of Sherlockian pastiches chosen and recommended by the individual essay writers themselves. Beyond the plots and author bios, Paul’s writers give personal perspectives on why these stories were important to them, and the connection Sherlock Holmes has played in their lives.&nbsp; Paul also discusses his writing career, which spans multiple genres including screenplays, westerns and other novels. He discusses his journey as an author, and how storytelling has shaped his life. We also talk about connecting with fellow writers, and the remarkable variety of people drawn to Sherlock Holmes. Some of those remarkable people will be gathering in person and virtually in the weeks ahead, so you will want to hear about August events in “The Learned Societies” segment. Madeline Quiñones is back with “A Chance of Listening,” and the Canonical Couplet quiz tests your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with&nbsp;a copy of&nbsp;Paul's book&nbsp;for the winner.

“you could just fill that gap on that second shelf” [EMPT]&nbsp;   &nbsp;  If you discovered Sherlock Holmes when you were young, you might still recall the joy of your first reading. The world of Baker Street is fun, so much so that some adults still extend the Great Detective's career with their own stories.&nbsp; Many adults also enjoy LEGO as a nostalgic, relaxing, and creative outlet. That’s why we were eager to talk to LEGO Group Design Master Antica Bracanov and Graphic Designer Crisy Dyment about their creation of the LEGO Sherlock Holmes Book Nook.&nbsp; Joining us from LEGO’s offices in Billund, Denmark, Antica and Crisy take us through the concept, the process, and the community of designers, engineers, and model-makers who brought it to life. You’ll hear how the key moments and objects Sherlock Holmes fans will recognize were selected, and how they were adapted to fit LEGO’s style and humor. You’ll find there are some self-described “Sherlock Holmes nerds” on the LEGO team, too. Speaking of Sherlockian nerds (guilty), we share upcoming events for the first half of September in our "The Learned Societies" segment. Then, you will not want to miss this episode’s Canonical Couplet quiz, which this time is . This episode’s prize is a LEGO Sherlock Holmes Book Nook!

The Sherlock Holmes LEGO Book Nook

“entirely mistaken” [CHAS]&nbsp;&nbsp;   &nbsp; The Morley-Montgomery Award-winning article we're discussing this month is by the legendary Jack Tracy, author of The Encyclopedia Sherlockiana and founder of Gaslight Publications. "St. Saviour's, Near King's Cross" appeared in Vol. 27, No. 4 of the Baker Street Journal&nbsp;in 1977 and looked specifically at the church where Mary Sutherland was supposed to marry Hosmer Angel. Previous Sherlockian scholars were unaware of some hidden London history that Tracy was able to uncover.

St. Saviour's, Near King's Cross

“took to the stage” [TWIS]&nbsp;     When faced with four months of an empty theater in a six-month lease in 1910, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle did the only thing he could on a moment's notice: he turned to Sherlock Holmes. The Stonor Case (later renamed The Speckled Band) went into production and is considered part of the group of stories categorized as apocryphal. While the name was the same as the short story, there were departures from the original. This and many tales about this play are all a Trifle.&nbsp; If you have a question for us, please email us at trifles@ihearofsherlock.com.
