The Strand (magazine)

The Strand Magazine was a monthly assortment of fiction and factual articles, published from December 1890 [nominally dated January 1891], until March 1950. The magazine took its title from the Westminster thoroughfare, The Strand, adjacent to which the magazine's offices were located.

Among the first and most popular fiction in The Strand were serialised detective stories penned by Dr. Arthur Conan Doyle. (PROSE: The Bodysnatchers) It was suspected by some that Doyle appropriated the contemporaneous exploits of the mysterious Madame Vastra and her assistants, which he attributed to his main protagonist, Sherlock Holmes.
