"I Proceeded to Portsmouth" was published to coincide with the Society's weekend visit to Portsmouth in September 2008. Arthur Conan Doyle was a young General Practitioner in the Portsmouth suburb of Southsea when he wrote the first Sherlock Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet, published in 1887. The late Richard Lancelyn Green, the noted Conan Doyle scholar, and a former Chairman of our Society, left his astonishingly rich and varied collection of Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes books, papers, photographs and other materials to the City of Portsmouth. The Handbook includes an article on the Collection and there are articles on submarines and the Bruce Partington Plans, on spies during and before the First World War, on the Royal Victoria Hospital at Netley (where Dr Watson studied) and on the date of Watson's return from India on the Orontes.…

Soft cover. Condition: New. 73 pages : illustrations ; 30 cm. If you had ever wondered from where exactly the King of Bohemia had travelled to visit Sherlock Holmes and from where his peculiarly strong writing paper had originated you now have the opportunity to find out. We cannot provide evidence that Sherlock Holmes ever visited Bohemia. But he was certainly of assistance to the King of Bohemia and when you read this handbook you will find that a Bohemian connection entered into Holmes cases from time to time. Holmesians enjoy trying to resolve inconsistencies and apparent errors in the Sherlock Holmes stories, and in explaining obscure references. Some of this scholarship is on display in these pages, along with other articles of a more general nature relating to various aspects of Bohemia. You can find out what happened to the Hapsburgs, learn about the darker side of rejuvenation and almost taste the superb selection of beers Bohemia has to offer. Editor of the Sherlock Holmes Journal, Roger Johnson, says about the book The pessimists have been saying for decades that there was nothing new that could be said about Sherlock Holmes and his world. Meet Me in Bohemia is further proof that the pessimists are wrong! A dozen eminent scholars prove that Bohemia that lovely, mysterious, and ultimately triumphant country plays a small but real part throughout the great detective s career. The cover of the handbook is based on a drawing specially created by the highly respected Czech artist, Mr Karel afář, to commemorate the visit of the Society to Bohemia.
