In 1934, Christopher Morley started one of the original Sherlockian societies, the Baker Street Irregulars (BSI), which is still active today. Connected to the BSI, Sherlockians across the country also formed scion societies including Indiana’s the Illustrious Clients of Indianapolis. Founded in 1946, it's one of the oldest, most active, and most published of the offshoot societies. Andy and Shelly Gage, editors of You Know My Methods, Watson: The Illustrious Clients Third Case-Notes, will take you on a journey through this history to the Client’s latest publication, and share what they discovered from their fellow club members about the varying facets and individualization of what it means to be a Sherlockian.
