“As to your dates, that is the biggest mystification of all.” [CREE]
It's not often that we get a piece of Sherlockian scholarship
that had its origin in a mainstream publication. And in this case,
it's from one of the original Sherlockians.
In 1932, Ronald Knox set out to review two new Sherlockian
books, but he managed to turn it into an essay that was a master
class in chronology. It's just a Trifle.
And stay tuned, as we have some bonus content on Ronald Knox
for our supporters.
