Fans of Sherlock Holmes & related works & Arthur Conan Doyle material. Remembering BSI founder Christpher Morley who founded a SH club as a child in Baltimore
'You remind me of Edgar Allan Poe's Dupin. I had no idea that such individuals did exist outside of stories.' - Watson to #SherlockHolmes in A Study in Scarlet. #EdgarAllanPoe was born #OTD in 1809.
Should you care to celebrate Poe and his legacy, and the #SherlockHolmes connection, with a book, I can strongly suggest that @Stevevolkwriter 's UNDER A RAVEN'S WING (2021) is exactly the book you need! https://t.co/Mr1pmymtpe #EdgarAllanPoe
"Poe is, to my mind, the supreme original short story writer of all time. His brain was like a seed-pod full of seeds which flew carelessly around, and from which have sprung nearly all our modern types of story." - Arthur Conan Doyle, Through The Magic Door
“I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.” - E. A. Poe
Raise a glass to the founder of the feast - Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) - born #OTD in 1809. #Poe#EdgarAllanPoe

Learn what Conan Doyle did to promote and build the British Olympic team after the 1912 Stockholm Games. I will be speaking on this topic at Saturday's Baltimore Sherlockian meeting: https://t.co/Ao31pWMf8h

The Sherlockians of Baltimore were finally able to hold our March 21, 2020 gathering this afternoon. A small group today, but it is a start back to “normal”, whatever that may become. We missed our virtual SOBs being with us today.
Missed out on @ScottMonty's presentation on Luck in the Canon at our recent 5th anniversary gala? Well, you're in luck! Watch it here: https://t.co/ffuBouis7F
