Happy Birthday Sherlock Holmes! Femme Friday Now Available as an eBook!
We all know that on the occasion of his 165th birthday, Sherlock Holmes would want nothing more than an eBook version of our essay collection highlighting all the wonderful women in the canon and adaptation therein.
While he (and you!) have always been able to get it in physical form, either in color or black and white, Sherlock Holmes has always been a modern man. So now that he can grab it as an ePub, for his Kindle, or just good old fashion RTF, we know he’ll want to be getting his hands on it.
So why don’t you head over to Smashwords and grab the eBook version of Femme Friday, as a treat to Mr. Holmes… and yourself, of course.
This volume is a collection of essays on the women in the Sherlock Holmes stories as well as in adaptations and pastiches. It consists partly of the Baker Street Babes’ contributions to our Tumblr series “Femme Friday,” as well as essays written after we posted a call for contributions on our social media. We tried to include as many ladies as possible, though we are aware that we missed the likes of Mrs. Cushing from “The Cardboard Box,” Nancy Barclay from “The Crooked Man,” Emilia Lucca from “The Red Circle” as well as the ladies from “The Greek Interpreter” and “The Retired Colourman”, and probably a few others. However, we have assembled quite the collection of essays on awesome ladies, so we beg forgiveness from the fantastic ladies we did not manage to include.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Holmes!
