Preface

I fear that Mr. Sherlock Holmes may become

like one of those popular tenors who, having outlived their time, are still

tempted to make repeated farewell bows to their indulgent audiences. This must

cease and he must go the way of all flesh, material or imaginary. One likes to

think that there is some fantastic limbo for the children of imagination, some

strange, impossible place where the beaux of Fielding may still make love to

the belles of Richardson, where Scott’s heroes still may strut, Dickens’s

delightful Cockneys still raise a laugh, and Thackeray’s worldlings continue to

carry on their reprehensible careers. Perhaps in some humble corner of such a

Valhalla, Sherlock and his Watson may for a time find a place, while some more

astute sleuth with some even less astute comrade may fill the stage which they

have vacated.

His career has been a long one—though it is

possible to exaggerate it; decrepit gentlemen who approach me and declare that

his adventures formed the reading of their boyhood do not meet the response

from me which they seem to expect. One is not anxious to have one’s personal

dates handled so unkindly. As a matter of cold fact, Holmes made his début in A

Study in Scarlet and in The Sign of Four, two small booklets which appeared

between 1887 and 1889. It was in 1891 that “A Scandal in Bohemia,” the first of

the long series of short stories, appeared in The Strand Magazine. The public

seemed appreciative and desirous of more, so that from that date, thirty-nine

years ago, they have been produced in a broken series which now contains no

fewer than fifty-six stories, republished in The Adventures, The Memoirs, The

Return, and His Last Bow. and there remain these twelve published during the

last few years which are here produced under the title of The Case-Book of

Sherlock Holmes. He began his adventures in the very heart of the later

Victorian era, carried it through the all-too-short reign of Edward, and has

managed to hold his own little niche even in these feverish days. Thus it would

be true to say that those who first read of him, as young men, have lived to

see their own grown-up children following the same adventures in the same

magazine. It is a striking example of the patience and loyalty of the British

public.

I had fully determined at the conclusion of

The Memoirs to bring Holmes to an end, as I felt that my literary energies

should not be directed too much into one channel. That pale, clear-cut face and

loose-limbed figure were taking up an undue share of my imagination. I did the

deed, but fortunately no coroner had pronounced upon the remains, and so, after

a long interval, it was not difficult for me to respond to the flattering

demand and to explain my rash act away. I have never regretted it, for I have

not in actual practice found that these lighter sketches have prevented me from

exploring and finding my limitations in such varied branches of literature as

history, poetry, historical novels, psychic research, and the drama. Had Holmes

never existed I could not have done more, though he may perhaps have stood a

little in the way of the recognition of my more serious literary work.

And so, reader, farewell to Sherlock Holmes!

I thank you for your past constancy, and can but hope that some return has been

made in the shape of that distraction from the worries of life and stimulating

change of thought which can only be found in the fairy kingdom of romance.
