Sherlock Holmes International is the forum for the viewpoints of Sherlock Holmes's fans wordwide.

I don't want to keep this wonderful url adress to myself: www.sherlock-holmes.org.  I would like for it to be valuable to all "Holmesians," whatever their language. It's why you can write me (billy@sherlock.fr.eu.org) (only in French or in English, please) in order to add a Holmesian site which is not listed on this page. (Don't forget to mention which international page the new address is for!). Also, you can write to Jenny Newbury, who maintains this English version.

If a language is not a part of Sherlock Holmes International, you can also ask me to create a new Welcome Page in this language, but please help with the translation!  ;-)

Also, you can visit my web site about Sherlock Holmes "Les Dix Sept Marches". It is in French, but some pages are also translated into other languages.

Sherlock Holmes International is neither a commerical site nor an association. It's an independent website based on the principle of free-willed, international aid to the glory of the tenants of 221B Baker Street.
