Episode 217: The Staunton Tragedy

"many excellent qualities" [MISS]  One of the latest books in the BSI Manuscript Series from the BSI Press is The Staunton Tragedy, the manuscript for "The Adventure of the Missing Three-Quarter." Edited by Wiggins emeritus Michael F. Whelan, the book brought together Sherlockians of all stripes for a wide variety of essays about and related to the story. The story itself was fairly thin and didn't present anything in the way of crime-solving on Sherlock Holmes's part, but the essays in The Staunton Tragedy make up for that. Series production manager John Bergquist, BSI ("The King of Scandinavia") and transcriptionist-cum-annotator Phil Bergem ("Birdy Edwards") join I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere to talk about this book and their collaboration on manuscripts that spans 10 books. If you are chosen as the lucky Canonical Couplet quiz winner, we have a wonderful collection of Sherlock Holmes puzzle and quiz books. Answers are due by June 14, 2021 at 11:59 a.m. EDT.
