The Adventure of The Cardboard Box (Part 1 of 2)
Description:
In the middle of an August heat wave, Sherlock Holmes and Watson are called to Croydon by Lestrade to examine a most gruesome and sinister case.
Note:
Welcome back to our channel! We are excited to start a new Sherlock Holmes series! The second of 12 stories in “The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes” is “The Adventure of The Cardboard Box (1893).” Some readers may notice that there are only 11 stories in the series in some publications. In fact, “The Adventure of The Cardboard Box” was the one that was removed from the original series due to the controversial subject matter. It was, on the other hand, first published in America as a part of the series, but then removed shortly after the publication. Some of us modern people might not see the controversial nature of the story, but it apparently was too shocking in 1893. Chronologically speaking, “The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes” series is the 4th Holmes book, published after “A Study in Scarlet (1887),” “The Sign of the Four (1890)” and “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1891~92).” The series was published in the Strand Magazine from 1892 to 1893. It is the second Holmes book that Sidney Paget was commissioned to illustrate. If you haven’t listened to the previous series, please click the links below.
It was originally written as a single “short story,” but we divided it into two parts for length. After putting together an almost hour-long video in the past, we decided that length was more than I could handle on a regular basis. We mean no disrespect to Conan Doyle, but dividing each story in a few parts seemed to make sense to us while still working a day job. We hope you enjoy listening to Richard’s take on “The Adventure of The Cardboard Box!”
