Is Sherlock Holmes really as rational as he seems? He talks about the importance of reasoning and logic, but why then does he sometimes seem like a "strange Buddha"? On the other hand, why in The Sign of the Four does Watson smash a Buddha? What is going on in The Sign of the Four, that strange tale of Empire? What is going on in all the original sixty stories in "the canon"? In this study of the stories, Sheldon Goldfarb explores questions like these, from the significance of the eggs in "Thor Bridge" to the reason Watson keeps leaving Holmes for an insubstantial wife. What meanings lurk beneath the surface of these detective stories? Why is there an obsession with Napoleon in this story or an article on free trade in this other? Can we find answers to these questions? Perhaps. In any case, in this collection of essays (or "Musings") on each of the 60 stories, Dr. Goldfarb, an award-nominated mystery writer himself and the holder of a PhD in English literature, light-heartedly tries out a variety of perspectives, allowing readers to come to their own conclusions about such matters as the nature of the angel in "A Case of Identity" or the reason Holmes abandons his magnifying glass for binoculars in "Silver Blaze." Who brings binoculars to a horse race? Indeed.

Sherlock Holmes is one of the most important fictional characters in all of literature, the world around. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created a giant of thought whose intellectual range extended well beyond his role as a detective. As a member for thirty years of the Diogenes Club of Carmel-by-the-Sea, a Sherlockian society, I have contributed a number of papers to our bi-monthly black tie dinner meetings. (I have also created the brilliant new consulting detective, Francie LeVillard, and have published seven volumes of her cases.) But back to the "Musings on Sherlock Holmes." Included in these pages are four essays and two performances, all of which were delivered before the Diogenes Club. There is a lot of Holmesian detail to satisfy the obsessive afficionado, but much that does not require familiarity with what Doyle wrote.

"The Wisdom of Sherlock Holmes" examines the deepest thoughts of one of the sharpest minds ever conceived, Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. Was the greatest detective and logician in literary history an atheist; or is it possible that Sherlock Holmes actually believed in God? This work contains dozens of extended musings of Sherlock Holmes on detective work and investigation, on women and romance, and on other important matters. You'll see Sherlock at his worst (racism + sexism) and at his best (compassionate and humble.)To say that Sherlock Holmes is popular is to make a significant understatement, and yet most modern fans of Holmes are ignorant of the original incarnation of the great detective. This book goes back to that original, canonical Holmes and seeks his opinion on the most profound questions that mankind has ever faced: Is there a God that watches over humanity? If there is, can such a God be kind and benevolent? What about evil and human nature? You will read Sherlock's answers to these questions IN HIS OWN WORDS.

An Intimate Study of Sherlock Holmes was written by Conan Doyle for the January 15, 1918 issue of Detective Story Magazine. It is an interesting insight into Conan Doyle's thinking and his reactions to the fame that Sherlock Holmes gained. Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859 – 1930) was a Scottish physician and writer who is most noted for his fictional stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, which are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction. He is also known for writing the fictional adventures of a second character he invented, Professor Challenger, and for popularising the mystery of the Mary Celeste. He was a prolific writer whose other works include fantasy and science fiction stories, plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels.
