1903 saw The Adventure of The Empty House and the return of Sherlock Holmes to 221b Baker Street where he explains the deception of his death at the Reichenbach Falls to his faithful friend Dr John Watson. 2012 sees The Crime of The Empty House where the former home of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Undershaw, lies in disrepair and the threat of being destroyed forever. Commissioned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself, Undershaw was witness to the creation of many of his most famous works, including The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Return of Sherlock Holmes. It is a building deserving preservation for the British nation, and indeed the world, for all time. Sadly, the building is currently under threat from the property developers who wish to divide the house into 3 separate units and build a further 5 alongside. Planning permission for development has already been approved by Waverley Borough Council. The Undershaw Preservation Trust (UPT), with Mark Gatiss [BBC Sherlock] as Patron, is dedicated to the preservation and protection of this important literary building and are campaigning to get this decision overturned, so the house can be restored to its original glory and enjoyed as the single dwelling Sir Arthur Conan Doyle intended it to be. This book is a collection of short Sherlock Holmes stories and poems written by fans from around the world in support of the Save Undershaw campaign - even the cover has been designed by fans. Royalties from the book go towards the UPT to preserve this wonderful house for future generations of Doyleans, Sherlock Holmes enthusiasts and literary fans of all kinds. More information on the Save Undershaw campaign can be found on their website: www.saveundershaw.com.

Long thought lost, Sherlock Holmes' monograph on the Posthumous Motets of Orlandus Lassus can at last be printed. The musicologist and Sherlockian, Michael Procter, discovered Holmes' notes for the essay in the Bavarian State Library; in this booklet he describes his discovery and introduces and annotates Holmes' study, with essays on Lassus & Melancholy, Holmes & Depression and references to Holmes' life and to the cases of the great detective.

In 1903 zag 'Het lege huis' het licht. In dit verhaal keert Sherlock Holmes terug naar Baker Street 221B en legt aan zijn trouwe vriend, Dokter John Watson, uit hoe hij zijn dood bij de Reichenbach waterval in scene heeft gezet. In 2012 kwam het misdrijf van het lege huis aan het licht. Het voormalige huis van Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Undershaw, is in verval geraakt en wordt bedreigd met vernieling. Undershaw was gebouwd in uitdrukkelijk opdracht van Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Hier heeft hij vele van zijn meest bekende werken geschreven, onder andere 'De hond van de Baskervilles' en 'De terugkeer van Sherlock Holmes'. Het huis is een belangrijk monument en als zodanig verdient het behoud voor de toekomst; niet alleen als Brits erfgoed, maar ook wereldwijd. Helaas wordt het huis momenteel bedreigd door projectontwikkelaars. Zij opteren het gebouw in drie afzonderlijke eenheden te verdelen en er aanvullend vijf appartementen naast te bouwen. De bouwvergunning is al door de Raad van Waverley Borough goedgekeurd. 'The Undershaw Preservation Trust' (UPT De stichting ter behoud van Undershaw), met Mark Gatiss (bekend van BBC 'Sherlock') als beschermheer, is gewijd aan het behoud en bescherming van dit belangrijk literair bouwwerk. De organisatie vecht voortdurend het besluit van de Raad aan, zodat het huis vervolgens in zijn oorspronkelijke glorie hersteld kan worden. De leden van UPT streven ernaar de bezoekers het huis te laten ervaren als het alleenstaande landgoed dat Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in gedachten had, en er als zodanig van te laten genieten. Dit boek is een verzameling van korte verhalen en gedichten over Sherlock Holmes, geschreven door fans over de hele wereld ter ondersteuning van de 'Save Undershaw'-campagne ('Red Undershaw'). Zelfs de omslag werd door fans bedacht! Alle opbrengsten gaan naar UPT om dit prachtige huis voor toekomstige generaties Doylians, Sherlock Holmes enthousiastelingen en andere literaire fanaten te behouden.

Wir schreiben das Jahr 1903: Die Geschichte 'Das leere Haus' erscheint und erzahlt, wie Sherlock Holmes in die Baker Street 221b zuruckkehrt und seinem treuen Freund Dr. John Watson schildert, wie er zuvor am Reichenbachfall seinen Tod vorgetauscht hatte. Im Jahr 2012 werden wir Zeuge eines Verbrechens an einem anderen leeren Haus: Sir Arthur Conan Doyles ehemaliger Wohnsitz Undershaw verfallt zusehends und droht endgultig zerstort zu werden. Das Gebaude war von Sir Arthur Conan Doyle seinerzeit personlich in Auftrag gegeben geworden, und dieser schrieb dort viele seiner beruhmtesten Werke, unter anderem den Roman 'Der Hund der Baskervilles' und die Kurzgeschichtensammlung 'Die Ruckkehr des Sherlock Holmes'. Ein Haus wie Undershaw sollte fur Grossbritannien und die Welt fur immer erhalten bleiben. Leider droht das Gebaude einem Bauprojekt zum Opfer zu fallen, durch welches es in drei einzelne Wohneinheiten aufgeteilt und um funf weitere Wohneinheiten erganzt werden soll. Die Baugenehmigung durch den Waverley Borough Council wurde bereits erteilt. Der Undershaw Preservation Trust mit seinem Schirmherrn Mark Gatiss [Co-Autor der BBC-Serie 'Sherlock'] hat es sich zum Ziel gesetzt, dieses literaturgeschichtlich bedeutende Gebaude zu erhalten und zu schutzen. Er kampft gegen diese Entscheidung mit dem Ziel, das Haus wieder in seinen Originalzustand zu versetzen und es als ein einziges Wohngebaude zu nutzen, ganz so, wie Sir Arthur Conan Doyle es einst vorgesehen hatte. Dieses Buch enthalt eine Zusammenstellung von Sherlock-Holmes-Geschichten und Gedichten. Damit wird die Kampagne zur Rettung von Undershaw unterstutzt selbst das Buchcover wurde von Fans gestaltet. Die Tantiemen gehen an den Undershaw Preservation Trust. So soll sichergestellt werden, dass dieses einzigartige Haus fur zukunftige Generationen von Doyle-Liebhabern, Sherlock-Holmes-Fans und andere Literaturinteressierte erhalten bleibt.
