“that is the biggest mystification of all” [CREE]
You thought we were done with the Apocrypha of Sherlock Holmes? Silly you. As Inspector Baynes said, “I thought I had squeezed all the juice out of it, but I see there was a little over.” [WIST]
Now we turn to a fascinating study: dating the Apocrypha. Or at least part of it. An entry by Brett Graham Fawcett in Timelines, the newsletter of the Chronologist Guild, looks at how we might assign dates to some of the stories. And it’s just a Trifle.
