It's the first of our monthly Masters Class episodes for
Season 7, and we're kicking off a series of three discussions of
works by a single author. As a reminder, these episodes take a
piece of well-regarded Sherlockian scholarship and deconstruct
it.
In this case, we look to Trevor Hall and his book Sherlock
Holmes: Ten Literary Studies. The first up is Hall's attempt
to discern more about Sherlock Holmes's childhood years. Does he
succeed? It's just a Trifle.
If you have a suggestion for a Trifles episode, let us
know at trifles @ ihearofsherlock.com. If you use your idea on the
air, we'll send you some Sherlockian goodies.
Our Patreon supporters can listen to our shows ad-free and every
one of them is eligible for our monthly and quarterly drawings
for Baker Street Journals. Join our community of patrons

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.
