Since at least the age of ten, I've been in love with Arthur Conan Doyle's fabulous, timeless, classic detective, Mr. Sherlock Holmes of 221 B. Baker street. I'm not sure what precipitated my love of Sherlock (or why I call myself a Sherlockian) but I do know that my time spent in the presence of everything Holmes has been fabulous.
My mom says that I have this way of talking about Sherlock Holmes like he is real, as opposed to a pen and ink book character. I believe I do this because of the books. When I read a Sherlock mystery, I'm inevitably drawn into the story as if I'm another character running across moors and through the streets of London beside Sherlock and his trusty Doctor Watson.
Today there are many ways for fans of Sherlock Holmes to enjoy more Sherlock. You can visit 221 B. Baker Street in London, watch old black and white and new Sherlock movies, or watch the BBC's Sherlock (a very fabulous TV show set in a modern day London with the same characters).
As Sherlock says, "The game is afoot, Watson!"
I hope you like "The Beekeeper's Apprentice". It might not be as interesting to a Sherlodk Holmes purist!
