‘In Beeton’s Christmas Annual of 1887, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle presented to the public A Study in Scarlet, his first Sherlock Holmes story. From this beginning there followed fifty-six short stories and three novels with Sherlock Holmes and his ‘Boswell,’ John H. Watson, M.D., as the principal characters. From the ‘canon’, as the short stories and novels are referred to by Sherlockians, there have emerged ‘writings upon writings’ upon every topic imaginable, including references to Freemasonry’.
