Tonight, we’ll read the first half to “The Adventure of the Dancing Men” written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, as part of 1903’s “The Return of Sherlock Holmes”. The second half will air next week.

This was one of Doyle’s favorites- he ranked it third in his “top 12” list of Holmes stories, out of 56 total stories.

In this story, Holmes has to decipher the code hidden in what appears to be a child’s drawing.
