2020 Flickr Friday: Elementary Dear Watson

Folio Society Sherlock Holmes Complete Stories: Five Volume Set:

The Adventures, The Return, The Memoirs, His Last Bow, The Case-Book.

 

 

Oddly, the famous phrase Elementary Dear Watson or Elementary, My Dear Watson never actually appeared in any Holmes books.

 

The closest phrase appears in the story The Adventure of the Crooked Man when Holmes explains a deduction:

"Excellent!' I (Watson) cried.

'Elementary,' said he."
