Vahktang Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 For reasons beyond my comprehension I would like to know about the early life of Sherlock Holmes. Sure, we know he has a brother. But, in a time when a consulting detective is unknown, where did he get his idea to be one? I imagine he went to one of the great colleges, but, any military service? Jobs other than consulting detective? Etc. I believe this is one of his earliest mentions: 1880 On Saturday, July 3, 1880, the traditional English university long vacation began, and with it, the beginning of the brilliant career of Mr. Sherlock Holmes, consulting detective. But nothing before hand.No: "he was born of a upper middle class family near chelsea, his father a..." that you'd expect from a biography. Anybody have any clues? () Thanks.

reverie Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 well... you could always watch the movie, "young sherlock holms," but that probably had no input from the author... hmm, well I do recall that Mr Holms had an appreciation for atleast two things besides deduction: Music and Cocaine... Heh, he's not quite as stuffy as we thought, is he? Though back then his obsession with the violin was probably more upsetting to the locals than his other mind clearing hobby... revery the dreamlost "..." the dream continues...

Vahktang Posted December 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Young Sherlock Holmes was not a very good movie. In any case, I just imagine Holmes in early entry level jobs. "You, Mr. Holmes, are the junior level accountant clerk here. You cannot make charges of embezzlemnt." "As a shoe clerk, Mr. Holmes, you leave a lot to be desired. My 'affairs' are my own business." Waiter. Bartender. etc. Ah well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
