William S. Baring-Gould
William Stuart Baring-Gould (* 1913 - August 10, 1967 in Mount Kisco , Westchester County , New York ) was an important "Sherlockian" editor and commentator on the Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle .
Among other things, he wrote a fictional biography of Sherlock Holmes ( Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street , 1962), dealt intensively with the problem of the order and chronology of the Sherlock Holmes stories raised by Ronald Knox (1888–1957) ( The Chronological Holmes , 1955) and provided a standard work of non-academic Holmes research with the two-volume edition The Annotated Sherlock Holmes (1967). In his fictional biography of Nero Wolfe ( Nero Wolfe 35th Street West, New York City 1969 posthumously) he develops the theory that Nero Wolfe is the son of Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler .
He was married to Lucile Marguerite "Ceil" Moody (1914-2010) since 1936, with whom he published in 1962 The Annotated Mother Goose .
