Christopher Morley can be described in many ways: novelist, poet, essayist, publicist, and theatrical promoter. But Sherlockians owe a great deal to this man, the founder of The Baker Street Irregulars. He precipitated a wave of interest in the life of the Great Detective that seems almost undying. Few men have been so pervasive in the world of American letters or so influential in shaping the literary interests of their times. And we must not forget the literature of Sherlockiana.

Dr. Rodin's research during the past ten years has revealed that Doyle not only was an excellent physician who was involved in an amazing variety of pursuits but also that he, not Watson, recorded the cases of Sherlock Holmes. (Some would dispute this latter claim!) In addition to his article on Doyle, Dr. Rodin plans to write a book about Doyle, a man he admiringly describes as someone who "never did anything half-hearted. He gave 100% (Actually, Sherlockians take great pride in the fact that a person like Doyle, with his impeccable credentials, was willing to be Watson's literary agent.)
