Gather ’Round The Sundial:
A Night with the Five Orange Pips.
Edited by Rebecca Romney.
The Five Orange Pips is a scion society founded in 1934, the same year as the Baker Street Irregulars, and now limited to 12 members. At the annual meeting each fall, every attendee is required to make a short presentation. The Baker Street Journal’s 2024 Christmas Annual collects “The Best of the Pips,” 12 outstanding papers presented over the past 25 years.
