Reviews added of Mr. Holmes (LINKED) starring Ian McKellan as Sherlock Holmes, 35 years into retirement. Ian McKellan has to play Sherlock at 58 (before World War I) and then later in 1947 as 93. A brilliant feat in an understated but thought-provoking Britsh film … a film about fact, fiction and memory.

“The Case of The Dead Batsmen” in Garnet Oracle Readers was a finalist in the Extensive Reading Foundation Language Learner Literature Awards. Thanks to the illustrator Kay Dixey for a wonderful set of illustrations for this Sherlock Holmes story.
