Description
Members are invited to attend the debut of a new Sherlockian Behind the Bookcase Tour with Edward Pettit. For over a century, readers have been thrilled by Arthur Conan Doyle’s adventures of the world’s first consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes, and his assistant, Dr. John Watson, as they battle the criminal forces of London. We’ll use our magnifying glasses to view not only first editions of these stories and Doyle’s handwritten manuscript of the Holmes story, “The Adventure of the Empty House,” but also see some of the earlier influences of the mystery/detective genre from Edgar Allan Poe and Charles Dickens. Deerstalkers not required, but if you have one, wear it!
