Dear Tim and Holmesians,
I would like to point out that there seems to be a difference in the
personalities of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his creation, Sherlock Holmes.
Whilst, Sir ACD was a believer in Occult, ( Cottingley Fairies, attempts to
contact the dead through mediums etc), Sherlock Holmes scorned the occult(
Adventure of Sussex vampire, hound of baskervilles etc). So I do not think both
would necessarily share the same political sympathies.
