MRS HUDSON is possibly the most famous landlady in literature — presiding over the comings and goings of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson at 221b Baker Street in London.
She meets the clients, the villains and the Baker Street Irregulars, and gives her views on Victorian society — and women’s roles and rights — and explores the recipes she would have prepared for her famous lodgers.
Taken from a long-running series of columns in the Sherlockian journal Canadian Holmes.
