	The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"The Adventure of the Lion's Mane" (narrated by Holmes)
		Because of the two orderings, "The Adventure of the Retired Colourman" has often been incorrectly identified as the last Sherlock Holmes story written by Arthur Conan Doyle to be published, when the last such story to be published is in fact "The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place".
		"The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier" and "The Adventure of the Lion's Mane" are both narrated by Holmes himself, the latter being set after his retirement.

		Irene Adler is said to be one, in the sense that she was retired from the operatic stage.

		He had worked hard all his life, saved enough to allow him to retire with a comfortable income, bought a house, and taken a pretty younger wife to share his retirement years.

	Some Thoughts on the Popularity and Reception of Sherlock Holmes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		1) dangerous adventure, 2) the marvellous and mysterious, 3) the cult of titanic and more than life-size character, 4) indulgence in anti-natural and abnormal moods, 5) eqoism and subjectivity, 6) a revolt against convention and any given 'civilisation,' and 7) sensibility to natural objects of a solemn and enthusiastic kind (87).
		Indeed, Holmes needs the stimuli that these adventures of mind and body provide, he yearns for the mental and physical excitement of the next interesting case -- just as his readers yearned and yearn for the vicarious near-equivalent that they provide.
		The standard path of mythological adventure of the hero is a magnification of the formula represented by the rites of passage: separation-- initiation -- return: which might be named the nuclear unit of the monomyth.

	The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes (Oxford World's Classics)
		It's no secret that by this point Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle was bored with Sherlock Holmes and wished to let him go forever but the public kept hounding him and he only wrote them out of obligation.
		We meet international intrigue in "Shoscombe Old Place" and an arrogant murderer in "The Retired Colourman".
		My favorite story of the lot is "The Problem of Thor Bridge", where Holmes clears a young lady of murder in the face of almost overwhelming evidence of guilt.

		He acted on stage, screen, rad- io, and television (he worked on 185 radio series and 77 tele- vision series), and he was the genial announcer for "The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" (with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce) in the 1945-46 sea- son.
		The novel is an excellent contin- uation of the Mary Russell series, written with style and humor, and inter- esting characters and plenty of adventure.
		Holmes receives too many letters to re- ply personally, and that he has retired to a bee-farm in the English coun- tryside, and with a final paragraph noting that his old rooms are now open to the public as The Sherlock Holmes Museum.

		We think not; few men or women could reach such a lofty plateau even in this more learned age.
		But there was one man whom Holmes himself called his rival more than once, a man we know simply as Barker, of the Surrey shore in "The Adventure of the Retired Colourman."
		Just what are Barker's qualifications, one has to wonder.
