STEWART SINCLAIR, Private Eye

Elizabeth Greenwood studied sculpture at St. Martin's School of Art, and in Florence and Rome. She had a classical education, preferring Greek to Latin for
the richness of its vocabulary and her sculpture with its reference to Greek mythology reflects this predilection; she is also a dedicated writer. Apart
from poetry, she enjoys producing emblematic fiction based on Mary Poppins' philosophical song 'a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down', thus
fulfilling the writer's task as entertainer cum moralist, Both creative activities date from early childhood. Although they were largely ignored, she was
fortunate in having been born into a family where close relatives had universal minds, uniting a passion for Literature with a keen interest in Politics,
the Cinema and Science, especially Space Science. Officially, she began her writing career by producing educational scripts for the BBC World Wide Services
which taught her the invaluable benefit of dedicated researching. In later years, to counteract a tendency to create works of the imagination, she has
applied herself to the discipline of academic work in the field of biblical studies with particular regard to the Dead Sea discoveries, now
well-documented, which give insights into the rise of Christianity. Her particular interest in Sherlock Holmes as an innovative detective relates to his
having been born in America in a play on Broadway where it was an immediate success, with a famous actor in the lead while Conan Doyle, the British creator
of Sherlock Holmes, was serving with the Friends' Ambulance Service as a volunteer front-line surgeon during the Boer war in South Africa.
