ELEMENTARY DEAR WATSON

This was the explanation that Sherlock Holmes gave to his assistant, Dr. Watson, when explaining deductions he had made.
Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson dressed for the weather and their love of weatherwear is duly noted here at Wet & Wendy.

"As evening drew in, the storm grew higher and louder, and the wind cried and sobbed like a child in the chimney".- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

A bit about Doyle himself.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born May 22, 1859. His first collection of short stories, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, was published in 1892. The last of his series, The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes, was published in 1927. Conan Doyle received his knighthood in 1902 and lived to the age of 71, passing in 1930.

Doyle was friends with the famous American escape artist and magician, Harry Houdini.

Like Holmes in real life, Doyle helped free two men who were wrongly charged with murder and other horrible crimes by investigating the cases personally.
