Elementary!

Using the Awesome Power invested in him by the Encyclopedia Britannica's AetheroShare program, YHN would like to wish a very happy birthday to Mr. Arthur Conan Doyle, who has so ably chronicled the adventures of that greatest of detectives, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.

The Caledon Library has the great pleasure to include, amongst its collections, the entirely of those recountings, which may be found in the Fiction section.  As Doyle was also interested in The Uncanny, you may expect to hear more of him when curator Mica Braun presents her exhibit and collection on 19th century Spiritualism, now in the first stages of its preparation.

While we are extending Natal Felicitations, YHN would also like to express his thankfulness that such persons as Richard Wagner (composer of the Ring Cycle, and much else to delight the taste for the Thunderously Dramatic) and the American painter Mary Cassatt (who's appreciation of ukiyo-e in the work of Utamaro &c must be lauded, and who may, we are informed, be credited with lasting influence on the American taste for Impressionism) happened to be born.

Gentlebeings, your servant
