"by the honour of your mother" [SIGN]
There's no question that fathers play a significant role
in many of the Sherlock Holmes stories. But what about mothers? As
Mothers Day will be celebrated on May 14 in the United States, we
thought it was an appropriate time to look at mothers and motherly
figures in the Canon.
From independent women to those who tragically lost their mothers,
we see a common thread of strength. Where did Conan Doyle draw his
examples from? And what did Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson make of
such women? Its all here in Trifles.
