The Six Napoleons www.facebook.com/saveundershaw• The Six Napoleons contains everything which makes a Holmes story great. There is humour, action, friendship and brilliant deduction.• Holmes shows his human side – ‘It seemed to me that he was more nearly moved by the softer human emotions than I had ever seen him’.• Holmes solves the crime in a most workman like fashion which is simply brilliant and a joy to follow. It’s the simplicity; the neatness of this story which makes it so good.

The Six Napoleons www.facebook.com/saveundershaw• Inspired the characterisation of Lestrade in BBC Sherlock as someone who is frustrated by Holmes but admires him.• ‘We’re not jealous of you at Scotland Yard. No sir, we are very proud of you!’ – Lestrade, Six Napoleons

The Six Napoleons www.facebook.com/saveundershaw• Inspired many adaptations:• An episode of ‘Sherlock Holmes’, the 1965 television series starring Douglas Wilmer• Granada dramatized the story as part of their highly successful series starring the great Jeremy Brett as Holmes• Film – The Pearl of Death released in 1944

The Six Napoleons www.facebook.com/saveundershaw• A charming story which starts out with a trivial crime but builds up to a dramatic and satisfying conclusion.• The story ultimately gave us the following stunning piece of acting from Jeremy Brett, one of the best moments from all the Granada episodes:

Wisteria Lodge www.facebook.com/saveundershaw• International Intrigue

Wisteria Lodge www.facebook.com/saveundershaw• A Spooky Old House

Wisteria Lodge www.facebook.com/saveundershaw• It’s the story that has everything (including, I might add, a kitchen sink)

A Scandal in Bohemia www.facebook.com/saveundershaw• Background - First of the 56 short stories to be written by Doyle.• Plot – Governmental Scandal `

A Scandal in Bohemia www.facebook.com/saveundershaw• Diverse Disguises & Grand Theatrics – Holmes: Drunken Groom & Minister – Bohemian King: Masked Figure – Irene Adler: A Young Man• Grand Theatrics – Smoke and Mirrors

A Scandal in Bohemia www.facebook.com/saveundershaw www.facebook.com/saveundershaw• If Not A Love Story Then What? – Admiration Story – Humanising? – Spawn Of Many Interpretations – Conclusion • Progressive and Inspiring

Charles Augustus Milverton www.facebook.com/saveundershaw• Shows the change in Sherlock Holmes’ attitude to women The Second Stain Charles Augustus Milverton

Charles Augustus Milverton www.facebook.com/saveundershawThe Devil’s Foot and The Illustrious Client“I thought of her for the moment, as I would havethought of a daughter of my own” ILLU“I have never loved, Watson, but if I did and if thewoman I loved had met such an end, I might act evenas our lawless lion hunter has done” DEVI

Charles Augustus Milverton www.facebook.com/saveundershawWas Conan Doyle a anti-feminist?Rocha says that in “Irene Adler Doyle created a proto-feminist: a strong female character that was just assmart as the smartest man”.Sherlock Holmes and Philosophy, Rocha & Rocha

THE SECOND STAIN www.facebook.com/saveundershaw THE SECOND STAIN Presented by Bonnie MacBird bonnie@macbird.com http://pinterest.com/bmacb/cu rated-sherlock-holmes/ www.macbird.com

THE SECOND STAIN www.facebook.com/saveundershaw #8 of 12 on Conan Doyle’s own favorite list. Many reasons to love this story CLASSIC HOLMES character moments And…for THEME

THE SECOND STAIN www.facebook.com/saveundershaw

Blue Carbuncle www.facebook.com/saveundershaw• The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle is one of my favourite Christmas stories as well as one of my favourite Sherlock Holmes stories. It is both entertaining and fun.• It is during a lull between cases when Sherlock Holmes is presented with three apparently unconnected articles…a Christmas goose a very battered hat and an expensive blue stone.

Blue Carbuncle www.facebook.com/saveundershaw• While he waits for the owner of the goose to come and claim his property he examines to hat to know the nature and circumstance of it’s owner.• This is one of those times when Watson thinking he has the skills that Holmes has is challenged to prove so.

Blue Carbuncle www.facebook.com/saveundershaw• Well meaning Christmas spirit…following a long trail back to where the goose came from. Profit…greed…protecting property and suspicion make the case more interesting by the minute.• This is a story of an innocent man being blamed for committing a crime he didn’t.

Blue Carbuncle www.facebook.com/saveundershaw• A petty opportunistic thief…his greedy accomplis and a robbery thought out only moment by moment.• In the end an ad in the paper and the battered hat tie all together. A replacement goose and the hat are returned to the owner. The accused man goes free.

Blue Carbuncle www.facebook.com/saveundershaw• And the petty criminal once found out is treated to a rare bit of Christmas spirit… instead of being sent into the hands of the police he is set free.• The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle is a story that even people who are not fans of Sherlock Holmes might enjoy.
