This Work of Storytelling

“we have our story-teller here” [SIGN] 

Glen Miranker is always good for a story. And more times than not, his stories involve fascinating items from his extensive collection.

In this episode, we had a chance to talk with Glen about This Work of Storytelling: Arthur Conan Doyle's speech to the Authors' Club, London, June 29, 1896, published by Wessex Press. The book consists of a facsimile manuscript of the speech, together with other letters and documents, essays, and commentary from a variety of Sherlockians.

Along the way, a mystery is solved and we have the added pleasure of the writing of Cathy Miranker, Glen's wife and co-conspirator in this and the traveling exhibition of 221 objects from his collection.

Also, we have Sherlockian news, Madeline Quinones' segment "A Chance of Listening," and another Canonical Couplet quiz. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive a piece of Sherlockiana from our vaults, Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by August 14, 2024 at 11:59 a.m. EDT. All listeners are eligible to play.

And while we promised a video edition of this episode, technical difficulties have interfered. Should that change, we'll let you know..

If you become a supporter of the show, not only will you help to ensure we can keep doing what we do, covering file hosting costs, production, and transcription services, but we have thank-you gifts at certain tiers and ad-free versions of the episodes for all patrons.
