Episode 515 – Eastern Europe and Sherlock Holmes

“our Eastern Empire” [EMPT]  


A recent outing at a Polish restaurant prompted some thinking about Sherlock Holmes in that country and in other areas of Eastern Europe. 

What locales from the Austrian-Hungarian and Ottoman empires find their ways into the Canon? The cities, countries, and regions give us much to ponder. It's just a Trifle.
