About this listen

 "the biggest mystification of all" [COPP] Bruce Harris, BSI ("Harris") is a longtime Sherlockian whose love of the stories goes back more than half a century. During that time, Bruce has put his considerable talents to work in a number of directions, not least of which is in chronologies. In fact, his latest work ("Rolling on the River in The Sign of Four") appears in Autumn 2025 issue of The Baker Street Journal and poses an interesting question around the involvement of Athelney Jones. It was thanks to his work on chronologies that got him there. Bruce has of course contributed to the literature of the subject of dating the Sherlock Holmes stories, but he goes beyond the usual of his first entry, It Is NOT Always 1895 and gets us into an entirely different realm with his second, The Duration Debate. We had to admit that it was the first time we thought about the stories that way. Once again, we give you a glimpse of Sherlockian society activities, this time in the first half of December in "The Learned Societies" segment. Madeline Quinones is back with "A Chance of Listening," and the Canonical Couplet quiz tests your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with one of Bruce's books for the winner.
