SUNDAY, October 9th at 1:30pm: TEA TIME at Baker Street!

On we go with TEA TIME'S residency at the University of Washington iSchool campus in Second Life!

Before we take a brief TEA TIME hiatus to fully engage with the Halloween season, we pause a moment this week to laugh.  No, seriously, we mean it!  You wouldn't think that prominent authors with popular canons like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would poke fun at their creations, but they did!
Today we share some shorter works from both the classic and adaptive canons, where in the authors "take the Mickey" out of The Great Detective.

MONDAY, July 29th at 7PM: THE BEEKEEPER'S APRENTICE Continues

The year is 1915. Young Mary Russell has just begun a remarkable relationship with the legendary Detective Sherlock Holmes. Under his reluctant tutelage, this very modern twentieth-century woman proves a deft protégée and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective.

In their first case together, they must track down a kidnapped American senator's daughter and confront a truly cunning adversary--a bomber who has set trip wires for the sleuths and who will stop at nothing to end their partnership.

Full of brilliant deductions, disguises, and dangers, this first book of the Mary Russell--Sherlock Holmes mysteries is "wonderfully original and entertaining . . . absorbing from beginning to end" (Booklist).

TUESDAY, July 23rd at 7:00pm: THE BEEKEEPER'S APPRENTICE

From New York Times bestselling author Laurie R. King comes the book that introduced us to the ingenious Mary Russell–Sherlock Holmes mysteries.

In 1915, Sherlock Holmes is retired and quietly engaged in the study of honeybees when a young woman literally stumbles into him on the Sussex Downs. Fifteen years old, gawky, egotistical, and recently orphaned, the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes--and match him wit for wit. Under his reluctant tutelage, this very modern twentieth-century woman proves a deft protégée and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective.
