It's William Shakespeare's birthday! To celebrate, I've recorded Hamlet's famous "To be or not to be" soliloquy from Act 3 Scene 1. It's one of my favourite bits of playwriting ever and hope you enjoy my take on it, coming today!

Coming today... the next novel in the Sherlock Holmes chronology, "The Sign Of The Four", a tale of treasure and murder.
This classic novel was the first sequel to "A Study In Scarlet", but comes 13th in the chronology. Based on evidence in the text, most people place its events in the summer of 1888. However, other stories are explicitly set after the events of "The Sign of Four" but before summer 1888.
Whilst recording these stories, I've noticed a habit of Doyle to count years inclusively. For example, we might say that 1885 is two years after 1883, but Doyle would say it is three years, i.e. 1883 and 1884 and 1885, not 1885 minus 1883.
Therefore when characters in "The Sign Of Four" refer to 1878 being "tens years ago" I suspect Doyle was really counting to 1887, which explains why later stories set in 1888 seem to contradict this one.
Nothing groundbreaking, just my thoughts on dating Sherlock Holmes.
