The Lumber Room

"lumbering upon its way" [DEVI]  Across the Sherlock Holmes stories, we find a few mentions of what seems to be a strange and magical place in English residences: the lumber room.   In old country houses and in the city at 221B Baker Street, as well as in descriptions of the mind, the lumber room is a place that deserves a little exploration. And it's just a Trifle.   Thanks to Kaj for the suggestion for this episode. If you have a question for us, please email us at [email protected].
