Join us for our regular monthly meeting as we gather at Hampton Place to discuss “The Lion’s Mane” in which Sherlock Holmes, retired and living as a naturalist and beekeeper on the Sussex Downs, narrates the strange case of a man who staggers up a path from the beach and collapses at Holmes feet!
This tale from The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes was first published in England in the Strand Magazine in December, 1926 and Liberty Magazine on November 27, 1926 in the United States.
“For a long time I stood in deep meditation while the shadows grew darker around me”
