SUNDAY, April 14th at 1:30pm: More from SHERLOCK HOLMES GREATEST HITS

Today we present the third of the top four Sherlock Holmes' Adventures from our recent poll: THE ADVENTURE OF THE EMPTY HOUSE from "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" (1905).

Public pressure forced Conan Doyle to bring the sleuth back to life, and explain his apparently miraculous survival of a deadly struggle with Professor Moriarty. This is the first Holmes story set after his supposed death at the Reichenbach Falls, as recounted in "The Final Problem". "The Hound of the Baskervilles" had seen the return of a pre-Reichenbach Falls Sherlock Holmes, which only served to whet readers' appetites.

Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Empty House" sixth in his list of his twelve favorite Holmes stories. The story takes place in 1894, three years after "The Final Problem." 

Da5id Abbot, Corwyn Allen, Savanah Blindside, and Kayden Oconnell, live on stream in the Library's Fireside Room. 

SUNDAY, February 7th at 1:30pm: TEA TIME at Baker Street

He's baaaaack . . . .

And so are Corwyn, Kayden, John and Caledonia.  They've taken up residence in 221B Baker Street, at Crazy Eights on LEA 9 to present "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" from February to May.

TODAY: "The Adventure of the Empty House"
In April 1894, Watson (now a widower) checks 427 Park Lane where a young gambler, the Honorable Ronald Adair, was shot in a closed room on the 30th of March. He bumps into a wizened old book collector, who follows him home to his Kensington practice study then drops his disguise – it is Holmes. He's alive!

Join the crew in the "Baker Street Lounge" for this new journey, and settle down with a fresh cuppa.  The chairs are still comfy!
