Ideal Holmes

Jonathan Sale

The first letter to The Times came from Dr Watson. He was, he wrote, sorry that St Marylebone Council had decided not to put on a Sherlock Holmes exhibition. Could members not think again? It would make a worthy contribution to the Festival (of Britain, this being 1951, or Anno Holmes 97). Mycroft Holmes sent in a letter of support, as did Inspector Lestrade of the Yard. There was even a Dear Sir from a Mrs Hudson of Baker Street. St Marylebone Council crumbled. The exhibition was seen by over 50,000 people.
