DID YOU KNOW: To follow up yesterdays item, Dr. Watson’s first - TopicsExpress



          

DID YOU KNOW: To follow up yesterdays item, Dr. Watson’s first name was John – except for in one story. In ‘The Man with the Twisted Lip’, one of the early adventures, Watson’s wife Mary refers to her husband as ‘James’. Dorothy L. Sayers, another distinguished crime writer, speculated that this was in reference to ‘Hamish’, which may be what the ‘H.’ of ‘John H. Watson’ is for (Doyle never reveals what the name in fact stands for, and indeed Watson’s first name is only mentioned three times in the 60 novels and stories).
