Book excerpt: 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.
