Lost Story of Sherlock Holmes
Walter Elliot of Scotland discovered an 80 year old pamphlet that held an unseen Sherlock Holmes story inside it.
The news broke today that Sherlock Holmes has one more story in him. Walter Elliot, a Scottish historian, discovered a 48 page pamphlet he had put away. Inside the 80 year old document, there is the unseen story of “Sherlock Holmes: Discovering the Border Burghs and, by deduction, the Brig Bazaar.”
For those who did not grow up with the series, this is a very commonplace short story for Doyle where Sherlock solves a relatively “simple” problem using his powers of deduction. Not all of his stories are solving a murder or some great crime, but in some cases the solving of rather everyday problems.
The story is part of a pamphlet that was designed to help raise funds for a small Scottish town and Doyle himself raise £560 pounds for the cause.

I grew up my whole life reading Sherlock Holmes. He is my favorite character from literature and I am on my third version of his complete anthology as I have reread them so much the first two were worn out. This news is pretty exciting to me as I now have a new story to focus on.
