Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
references many everyday Victorian activities and aspects that are lost on the
twenty-first century reader. These short essays provide modern readers a better
understanding of Victorian England and greater insight into the world of
Sherlock Holmes. His cases take on richer meaning when the reader grasps the
subtleties of such details as the blue ribbon mentioned in "The Adventure
of the Cardboard Box," the doss houses Shinwell Johnson knew about, or how
one contracted brain fever.
