Sherlock Holmes? Elementary, of course!
If you are like me, you are looking forward to the latest screen incarnation of Sherlock Holmes. Guy Ritchie directs and Robert Downey Jr. stars in the new film, Holmes, which opens in Canada on Christmas Day.
But if you are not able to wait quite so long for your Holmes fix, why not borrow one of the Holmes story collections?
I picked up Hound of the Baskervilles again, and it proved as chilling and enjoyable as it did on my first read twenty years ago. Place your hold on any of Conan Dolye's books, or pull our Victorian detective into the 21st century by downloading one of his stories from our eCollections.
For a real treat, why not visit the Toronto Reference Library's Arthur Conan Dolye Room.
The Toronto Reference Library has one of the world's foremost collections of library materials devoted to the life and work of Arthur Conan Doyle. Much of the collection, of course, is devoted to Doyle's most famous character, Sherlock Holmes.
The room is open from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and by appointment.
In the words of our hero, "Education never ends Watson. It is a series of lessons with the greatest for the last."
