Before I was able to buy myself copies of Holmes' cases (a position, I am sad to say, in which I again find myself), I relied on one of two sources for my stories. One was the public library (mainly consulted for digital media) and 221b Baker Street.

221b Baker Street is a website I ran across by accident and which has sustained me through the insanity-inducing times that I have been without good literature. the web address is www.221bakerstreet.org.

This looked like precisely the site I've been looking for. But when I clicked on the internal link I wanted, alas, it gave me an error message.

Various tales from The Canon are available online at these sources, some scanned from books and magazines (illustrated) and many downloadable.

My my, that is very strange. I've never had trouble reaching it.

It was one of the illustrations. Still, it's not very encouraging to find a broken link first crack out of the box.
