BAKER STREET IRREGULARS

Baker Street Irregulars

In Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories, the Baker Street Irregulars are a gang of street kids who Holmes sometimes employs to help him with his cases. In modern life, the Baker Street Irregulars are an invitation-only society who only award membership and the accompanying customary “Irregular Shilling” to eminent Sherlockian scholars. Isaac Asimov and Neil Gaiman are both members. The group convenes for a fancy dinner once a year, and hosts other Sherlock-oriented activities open to the public.
