February 7th 1812: Charles Dickens was born.
In my readings, I have found two editors working together who came up with 3 possible connections between Dickens and Sherlock Holmes and/or Arthur Conan Doyle.
One connection involves a quote.
Of the other two, one requires some comparisons and the other requires a visit from the Afterlife.
Any one care to submit answers ?
In Charles Augustus Milverton, Watson compares the look of Milverton to Mr. Pickwick
IIRC, ACD claimed to have talked with Charles Dickens in a seance.
