Kitty Reads Holiday Lit for Peace: Arthur Conan Doyle – The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle plus The Next Peacelands

This episode features a brief seasonal reading from Arthur Conan Doyle’s 1892 mystery The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle, one of the few Sherlock Holmes stories set at Christmastime. Kitty offers a short excerpt that highlights Doyle’s distinctive blend of sharp observation, social awareness, and moral inquiry beneath the mechanics of a crime story.

Kitty O’Compost continues warming up for The Peace Experiments (Season Zero), the forthcoming Peace Is Here series exploring peace, AI, and the cultural commons through grounded reporting and thoughtful storytelling.

For this special holiday edition of The Next Peacelands, Avis Kalfsbeek changes her focus from the factual grounding of warzones and arms suppliers to highlight the spiritual organizations and networks actively building peace around the world.
