“I
sent down to Stamford's for the ordnance map” [HOUN]
In a number of instances in the Sherlock Holmes stories, we
find ourselves guided by maps. Not only as critical elements of the
plot, but also as visual aids to readers.
In which stories do we find maps? And
what about those that required floorplans to be sketched out as
well? It's just a Trifle.

You know the plots, but what about the minutiae? We delve into the Sherlock Holmes stories and provide answers to questions that arise, clarify muddy details, and look into some of the period terminology in this weekly podcast.
