Sherlock Monthly Ep 34: The Adventure of the Dancing Men

Sherlock Monthly Ep 34: The Adventure of the Dancing Men

The young American Elsie has been hiding some dark secret from her husband, Hilton Cubitt of Riding Thorpe Manor, in Norfolk. When Cubitt comes across the seemingly meaningless stick-figure symbols chalked about his estate, he appeals to Holmes for help. Will Sherlock decipher the Dancing Men code in time?

Our Sherlock Mondays Biblioventure was such a success, we’ve decided to continue exploring the Sherlockian canon with Sherlock Monthly. Every month, we’ll focus on one Sherlock Holmes adventure in the order they were first published. We’ll pick up where we left off, beginning with “The Norwood Builder,” hosted by Edward G. Pettit and, each month, co-hosted by a different Sherlockian expert. You can watch the livestreamed episodes on Saturday afternoons or the recordings on our YouTube channel.

The Rosenbach holds in its collection first editions of some of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes books, as well as the handwritten manuscript of “The Adventure of the Empty House.” Our founder, Dr. A.S.W. Rosenbach, was deeply committed to mystery and crime literature, corresponded with the famous Sherlockian and founder of the Baker Street Irregulars, Christopher Morley, and once purchased Doyle’s personal crime library.

Whether you are a seasoned Sherlockian who has read the entire canon, or an aficionado of the various screen portrayals of Sherlock, all are welcome to join in this one-of-a-kind Biblioventures series, live every month beginning November 16, 2024 and running until we finish the canon. Most months, the show will air on the third Saturday (some months may need to be adjusted).

We’ve already covered the first 28 stories from A Study in Scarlet through “The Empty House,” and you can watch all of those episodes on our YouTube channel here:    • Sherlock Mondays
