“a cascade of children's bricks” [TWIS]    Sherlock Holmes has been given form thanks to artists like Sidney Paget, Frederic Dorr Steele, Howard Elcock, Frank Wiles, and Arthur Twidle. He has sprung to life from the stage and screen through the magic of William Gillette, Eille Norwood, Basil Rathbone, Peter Cushing, Jeremy Brett, and Benedict Cumberbatch. But James Macaluso has made a world where Sherlock Holmes is universally relatable: through the Re-Imagined Sherlock Holmes in LEGO building bricks. His imagination and ingenuity have combined to transform some of Sidney Paget's iconic illustrations into LEGO scenes that are remarkably faithful to the original. How did he do it? Where did he find the pieces? James tells us his story and takes us through his creations which include works inspired by Edward Gorey, other non-Sherlockian stories that he has similarly illustrated, and what we might expect next. We have a straightforward Canonical Couplet this time. You ought to play, because the winner, who'll be randomly chosen from all correct responses, will receive not only a copy of one of James's books, but also a Sherlockian LEGO figure.

  “I have my eye on a suite in Baker Street” [STUD]    In the first part of this two-episode series, we looked at the Baker Street area of Victorian London and the changes that it has seen in the century and a half since that time.   This time, we sharpen our powers of observation and search for the specific address that must have stood in for 221B Baker Street in Holmes's time. Many Sherlockian scholars have attempted to identify it. Who was right? It's just a Trifle.       Find Trifles wherever you listen to podcasts: Listen to Sherlock Holmes: Trifles      Have you left us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts yet?

 “we made our way back to Baker Street” [3GAR]    The address is legendary. Synonymous with its famous inhabitant, just as the deerstalker and meerschaum pipe. But it may be just as fanciful as those two accoutrements.   This is the first in a two-part discussion of Baker Street of the Victorian era, and where Sherlock Holmes was supposed to have lived.

 "striking illustration of those powers for which my friend was famous" [SOLI]  The name Frederic Dorr Steele is legendary among Sherlockians. Even for those who don't know his name, his iconic rendering of Sherlock Holmes (as partly inspired by William Gillette) has left us with distinctive imagery. Sadly, Steele was buried in an unmarked grave in his family plot at the Albany Rural Cemetery in Menands, NY. But the Frederic Dorr Steele Memorial Committee was assembled to solve that. Our own Burt Wolder administers the group, and he asked fellow committee members Andrew Malec, BSI ("The Strange Old Book Collector"), Harrison "Terry" Hunt, BSI ("The Something Hunt") and Linda Hunt to join us to talk about those efforts as well as the life of artist Frederic Dorr Steele.   TRIOLET On Frederic Dorr Steele by Bliss Austin With joyful skill he breathèd life Into a name, a street, an age. With kindness and with humor rife, With joyful skill he breathèd life His pen outdid Pygmalion’s knife In quickening the inkèd page With joyful skill he breathèd life Into a name, a street, an age.   (From The Baker Street Journal, Vol. 1, No. 2, 1946) You'll want to see if you can test your knowledge with the Canonical Couplet: we give you two lines of poetry that describe one of stories, and you name it.

“Do you feel a creeping, shrinking sensation” [CHAS]  Holmes and Watson turn to burglary in "The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton," seeking to thwart the designs of "the worst man in London." The story holds a unique place in the Canon for its distinctive villain and the Great Detective's "strong natural turn" for criminal enterprise, as well as the host of thorny ethical questions raised by his actions.   There's so much to pick apart from this, one of the shortest in the Sherlock Holmes canon. So when Constantine Rossakis, BSI ("St. Bartholomew's Hospital") and Daniel Stashower ("Thurston") took on the job of editing , the latest in the BSI Press Manuscript Series, it was an embarrassment of riches.   We talked to them about finding an editorial voice and the history of the manuscript, feelings when holding original Conan Doyle materials, the Frederic Dorr Steele and Sidney Paget illustrations, and more.

"worthy of our steel" [HOUN]    Sidney Paget was the illustrator who first brought widespread visual recognition of Sherlock Holmes to the public. His American counterpart Frederic Dorr Steele got a later start, but made a lasting impact as well.   We discuss Steele's inspiration and the ultimate gift that he left us: an indelible impression of Sherlock Holmes through various publications for the better part of his career.   Please leave us a rating and review on the podcast player of your choice, and consider supporting our efforts through Patreon or PayPal.   Links Frederic Dorr Steele (Wikipedia) The Players     Music credits Performers: Uncredited violinist, US Marine Chamber Orchestra  Publisher Info.: Washington, DC: United States Marine Band  Copyright: Creative Commons Attribution 3.0  

"their celebrated colleague" [VALL]    It's 2017 and we're back from the BSI Weekend, with tales of friends, listeners, authors and more. Things we learned included Bonnie MacBird's next Sherlock Holmes novel that involves whisky; a future edition of a Sherlock Holmes companion from Cambridge University Press; the Society of Illustrators has a wonderful cafe, where we held the annual meeting of the Three Hours for Lunch Club, and subsequently, we'll be recommending Frederic Dorr Steele as a future Hall of Fame Member at the Society. We debate the possibility of or need for regular electronic updates of the eBSJ archives — or even a concurrent digital option of the Journal — leading to a broader discussion of print versus digital publications.   And of course we touch on the latest goings-on with Sherlock.   The Gas-Lamp this time is made up of the lyrics of the Harvey Officer song "On the Road to Baker Street," with abject apologies to Rudyard Kipling, Frank Sinatra, and anyone with a musical ear.      Sponsors This episode includes our two longtime sponsors.

      The #BSIWeekend 2015 is in the history books. As usual, it was a reminder of the richness of friendship and fun that are the side effect - and in some cases, the driver - of our interest in Sherlock Holmes. And it is the subject of this episode of I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere.   As you know, the  is a gathering of some hundrends of interested Sherlockians that is always full of food, fun and friends, and this year was no exception. In fact, this year it coincided with the 125th anniversary of the birth of Christopher Morley, the founder of the BSI, and the 100th anniversary of the publication of The Valley of Fear.   One of the highlights for us was the Lunch of Steele at the Salmagundi Club, honoring the memory of Frederic Dorr Steele, one of the great illustrators of the Sherlock Holmes stories. Burt has hosted this luncheon for the last 12 years, and he tells us why he decided to bring back the tradition of Morley's Three Hours For Lunch Club under the topic of Steele.   At the Salmagundi Club   There at the club, we enjoyed an intimate setting that allowed us to share a variety of interests and to capture a couple of those legendary stories that aren't documented in writing. We refer, of course, to Peter Blau, who regaled us with a John Bennett Shaw story and an Al Silverstein tale.   Peter Blau, looking forlorn after offering the raffle prize up for auction at the BSI Cocktail Reception.   We also reflected on the associated interests of Sherlockians that brought us to other societies such as the Victorian Military Society, the English Speaking Union and others.   One of the common interests of Sherlockians is comedy. David Stuart Davies has always been a star attraction at comedic efforts at our gatherings. And this year was no different, with Davies doing a one-man rendition of a Goon Show-like interlude called "A Quartet of M's," which we have a short audio clip of within the show. If you'd like to watch the full version, please check out the full video below (recorded with the permission of the BSI's "Wiggins," as you heard in Episode 71).       The investitures this year were nothing short of thrilling, with two very special ones. Kristina Manente of the Baker Street Babes received the investiture "Grace Dunbar," and Emily Miranker is now "Lady Hatty St. Simon." We have audio clips of each of them, including some commentary from her father, Glen Miranker, BSI ("The Origin of Tree Worship").   Kristina Manente, BSI gets her investiture face on   If you'd like to see more photos from the 2015 BSI Weekend, here's a slideshow from .     The Editor's Gas-Lamp for this episode is "Watson's Wound: Real of Phantom?" by Robert Katz, MD, BSI from The Watsonian (Vol. 2, No. 2).       Links: The Three Stooges'  The Amateur Mendicant Society's history  by Chris Music is now for sale.  for 2014 for the best article in the Baker Street Journal.  with Ian McKellen as a 93 year-old retired Sherlock Holmes.  of the BBC's Sherlock and it's taking place in London in April 2015.  for the Christmas special of Sherlock, with the actors in full Victorian garb.     Many more links, articles and images are available in our Flipboard magazine at (NEW and improved on the web!) and , as well as on the  on Google+ (still growing, now at over 2,300 members), as well as through our accounts on ,  and .       Please , ,  or  and be kind enough to leave a rating or review for the show.
