There is melancholy here; there are laughs, tears and numerous flights of fancy. Did I mention weirdness? The overall content of the forum is varied in the extreme, covering every aspect of Holmes and Watson's lives and careers and along the way we have set ourselves various challenges such as writing pieces on a Holmesian theme for Christmas and Easter. Many of the pieces in this collection sprang from such challenges and there were many more that could have been included, but had to be omitted for reasons of space etc. (Volume Two anyone?)
