Lost Sherlock Holmes story found in pamphlet discovered in an attic

Sherlock Holmes fans might have think they’ve read everything Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ever wrote about the most famous fictional detective ever created. However, there is one more story that might have been written by him.

An unsigned, 1,300-word story was found in a 1903 pamphlet that was printed during a three-day bazaar to raise money for a bridge Selkirk, Scotland. Conan Doyle, who had just published The Hound of the Baskervilles, was a guest of honor on the last day.

According to The Guardian, the story is called Sherlock Holmes: Discovering the Border Burghs and, By Deduction, the Brig Bazaar and centers on Holmes figuring out that John Watson is excited to go to Selkirk.

Walter Elliot, 80, was given the pamphlet over 50 years ago. However, he told the Telegraph that it wasn’t until fairly recently that he found it in his attic.

The pamphlet, which is only held together by string, is going to be on display at a pop-up community museum in Selkirk. The entire Holmes story can be read at The Telegraph.
