The Calabash Press has undertaken the monumental task of organizing and presenting the important modern critical writings on the Sherlockian canon. This volume on The Musgrave Ritual contains contributions from many leading scholars.Whose was it? His who is gone. Who shall have it? He who will come. So begins the strange Ritual of the Musgraves, a catechism whose meaning has been lost to generations of the familyuntil the death of a butler and the disappearance of a maid lead Sir Reginald Musgrave to bring the case before Sherlock Holmes. The Musgrave Ritual' is the first of The Case Files of Sherlock Holmes', a series which will examine each of Holmes's cases through the eyes of leading Sherlockian and Doylean writers. In addition to examining previous scholarship relating to the case, the contributions to this volume include examinations of the chronology of the story, Conan Doyle's possible sources, illustrators, master/servant relationships, media adaptations, and the Universal film Sherlock Holmes Faces Death'; and a startling new theory regarding the identity of Brunton's accomplice is also advanced. Once more, for Sherlockians everywhere, the game is afoot!

Review

There is much to brood upon. It is important, valuable and, in my opinion, highly to be recommended. I look forward to the next volume. . . . (The Sherlock Holmes Journal) It is an excellent start . . . the series of the Case Files will certainly serve as benchmark studies for all future research. Congratulations to Calabash Press for an outstanding entry into Sherlockian publishing. (The Baker Street Journal) The admixture of Sherlockian and Doylean perspectives is pleasing, as is the quality of the writing, which is both relaxed and authoritative. -- The Sherlock Holmes Gazette
