So here is what I am thinking - to mark @CupHolmes I will give away 12 new Sherlock Holmes books to UK young readers (9yrs-18yrs) to help them discover Sherlock during lockdown. Just DM name, address + age. Whilst stocks last. Data will be deleted. Please RT! #TwitterSherlockians

Today is Sherlock Holmes's 167th birthday! Why not introduce a young reader to the 56 short stories & 4 novels of Arthur Conan Doyle's greatest literary creation? It will be the greatest gift you could give to the world's only consulting detective.
