A Grimm Holmes in Bloomington, MN

The Crew of the Barque Lone Star was founded as a scion society of the Baker Street Irregulars in April, 1970. Through the years, the society has been home for many authors of fiction, Sherlockian criticism, and other non-fiction pieces of work.
So, as we approach our 50th anniversary of existence, it just seemed appropriate to have our present members develop a Sherlock pastiche.
The theme for this book was borrowed from two sources... first, presently there is an opera being developed, based on a fairy tale solved by the world's consulting detective. Second, one of the foremost Sherlockians in the country, Gayle Puhl, has authored two volumes of short stories where Sherlock Holmes solves beloved fairy tales, folk tales, nursery rhymes, and other children stories.
When approached, several members of our society enjoyed the idea of trying their own skill at the same type of pastiche. So the stories included in this volume are all from the fertile minds of crew members of the Barque Lone Star.
The stories authored by our members comprise the first half of the volume. The original tales comprise the second half of the book.
