Read a story in the late 60s early 70s about alien lifeforms that were spheres. Two of them would merge into a third “super” sphere. The story was about one that wished he could meet this particular super sphere without realizing it was half of its creation.

315F: A Good Dog with a Good Bone
A Children’s book from the mid-50s to 60s about a small dog who is adopted by a circus. Every night he gets a bone from the cook, who says, “To a good dog, a good bone!” He buries it but can’t find it in the morning, getting more and more upset until one night he stays up and realizes the circus moves during the night. He perks up, realizing that since the circus does a circuit, he’ll have a bone to dig up in every town! I believe the illustrations are charcoal, black and white.
315E: Jewish School Girl and Her Family
Looking for a children's book series I read in the 50s about a Jewish elementary school girl and her family and life. I got it in the school library and recall there were several volumes. That's all I can remember!
315D: Girl Travels Back in Time in an Abandoned Victorian House
All I can remember is that a young girl explores an old abandoned Victorian house and finds a feather bracelet. When she puts on the bracelet she goes back in time. I cannot remember what happens to her while she goes back in time. I know she does it quite a few times going back and forth.
I sure hope you can help me out on this one!
315C: A Boy With a Scepter Riding a Bird
I read this fantasy book in late 80s/early 90s as a child. Featured a brother and sister. At least one had magic (maybe both). I believe brother had a magic scepter. Possibly had a large bird they rode to get to places. The cover may have shown the brother with the scepter riding the bird, but I may just be making that up. Good luck and thank you!
315B: Little Boy Stumbles Upon a Fairy Wedding
315A: Secret of Stonehedge (or The Secret of Stonehedge) (Solved)
314Z: Dr. Watson’s Son, John Watson Jr, Comes to Work for Sherlock Holmes
I am looking for a book, possibly found on Google Advanced Book Search or Amazon, where John Watson, Jr., Watson’s Son, returns from a war in Afghanistan. He’s suffering from the effects of gas during the war, so he comes to work as assistant to Holmes.
The book wasn’t written by Doyle. Nor do I believe that it was written by Leonard Goldberg.
The book might have been an ebook, a regular book or a story that was independently published. It wasn’t fanfiction. If anyone could help me find this book, I would greatly appreciate it! 🙂
314Y: Lestrade Gets Holmes to Visit the Scene of the Crime
I am looking for a book, possibly found on Google Advanced Book Search or Amazon,where Lestrade called Sherlock to come to a house (which could have been on Camden Road), to visit the scene of a crime, where one of his men had disappeared for almost a day, then reappeared as a murder victim. Lestrade was deeply troubled or haunted by it, because he was close to the victim.
The author wasn’t Doyle. The book might have been an ebook, a regular book or a story that was independently published. It wasn’t fanfiction.It wasn’t by M J Trow. It also wasn’t Sojourn by J L Hazen, the Trials of Sherlock Holmes by James Moffett, the Smiling Judge by Mary Fantina, the Confidential Casebook of Sherlock Holmes by Marvin Kaye, Holmes Away from Home (Vols I-II) by David Marcum and Mark Mower or the MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories Pt II by David Marcum and Mark Mower, although the plots are close!
If anyone could help me find this book, I would greatly appreciate it! 🙂
314X: Lestrade Visits Watson after Sherlock Holmes’ Death
I am looking for a book, possibly found on Google Advanced Book Search or Amazon, where Lestrade and Dr. Watson had drifted apart since Holmes’ death, I think at Reichenbach. Lestrade had a grudging respect for Holmes, but only tolerated Dr. Watson, Holmes’ colleague/associate/compatriot. I think Dr. Watson mentioned trying to employ Holmes’ methods, but I don’t know how successful he was. But then I think Lestrade came to visit Dr. Watson about a case.
