Memoirs from Mrs. Hudson's Kitchen

By: Wendy Heyman-Marsaw

Narrated by: Verona Westbrook

Mrs. Hudson is possibly the most famous landlady in literature. Presiding over 221B Baker Street, she saw many clients, villains, and Baker Street Irregulars during the tenancy of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. This series of columns, thoughts, recipes, and memoirs are from a long-running column in the Sherlockian journal Canadian Holmes. In it, the author, Wendy Heyman-Marsaw, puts herself in Mrs. Hudson's shoes, up and down the 17 steps, and recounts not only the time and era - but the food, dining, and eating habits of Victorian England.

Great Book of Victorian England and Sherlock

The book is only about three hours long. Each chapter covers a certain segment of Victorian England. For example, the importance of tea, the different type of inns, the different passenger cars used on trains etc.....The chapter will then provide details of when Sherlock and Holmes experienced this and in which story...The chapter will end with several recipes that would have been served by a host or Mrs. Hudson during this event...I think that if you like a recipe, you will have to bookmark the spot in the audiobook and then go back later to review. Overall, a nice historical review of both Victorian England and Sherlock Holmes.

Memoirs

I enjoyed this short book on Mrs.Hudson's kitchen.The recipes and story behind her coming to own the building that housed Holmes and Watson was a fun few hours. Verona Westbrook was a very good narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
